Data Privacy Day Observed Internationally
On Wednesday, the United States, Canada, and 27 European countries will celebrate Data Privacy Day -- an international effort to raise awareness and generate discussion about data privacy practices and rights. For the second consecutive year, privacy professionals, the business community, government officials, academics and others will host events and take other actions in observance. The House on Monday got the ball rolling by approving a resolution by Rep. David Price, D-N.C., to formally recognize the event.
The Technology Association of America, the recently merged group formed by the Information Technology Association of America and the American Electronics Association, will host a Capitol Hill briefing featuring remarks by Price and Member of European Parliamentarian Alexander Alvaro as well as key representatives of the privacy community. A networking reception will follow.
