Privacy Awareness Week

Privacy Awareness Week is a global effort held in May, coordinated by members of the Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities (APPA), to promote awareness of privacy issues and the importance of the protection of personal information. Each year, various members of APPA develop resources and communications materials to support their activities during Privacy Awareness Week. This year’s theme is Back to basics: Privacy foundations, and the Canadian awareness campaign will run from May 1 to 5.
