  • Data Protection Day – 28 January 2025

In cooperation with the Council of Europe (CoE), and CPDP Conferences, we are co-organising a one-day event to explore the current and future data protection landscape. While celebrating this historical milestone, this conference serves as a platform for discussing the challenges and opportunities that arise when emerging technologies and privacy risks intersect on one hand, and those that arise when innovation meets regulatory frameworks. This year, we invite more than 40  distinguished speakers in 3 Main and 3 Side sessions who will reflect on and discuss the evolving mandate of data protection, particularly its essential role as a safeguard of our democratic society against excessive intrusions in citizens’ privacy by public or private actors. For more details about the conference, please visit our dedicated website: https://cpdp-dataprotectionday.eu/ . We invite you to watch a short teaser introducing the main topics of the conference. It will be available on our social media platforms (LinkedIn, X, Instagram).

Office of Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC)

Data Privacy Week 2025 takes place from January 27 to 31. This year’s theme is “Put Privacy First.”

Considering privacy at the beginning of an initiative is a key to future-proofing programs, services, and systems. It can also help organizations to reduce the risk of issues arising at the eleventh hour or once a program has been launched.

Putting privacy first supports compliance with privacy law and ultimately helps organizations to build trust with Canadians.

For individuals, putting privacy first means being empowered to protect your fundamental right to privacy. For example, by knowing how to select strong passwords, recognizing phishing and other scams, and considering what information to share in online interactions.

Why should we put privacy first? And what do we protect when we protect privacy and ensure data protection? We invite you to read the Privacy and data protection as fundamental rights: A narrative, prepared by the Global Privacy Assembly’s Data Protection and Other Rights and Freedoms Working Group. The narrative takes stock of the proliferation of data protection laws and instruments and reinforces a case for adopting a fundamental rights-based approach to data protection and privacy globally.

During Data Privacy Week, we invite you to share social media posts from our accounts on X (@PrivacyPrivee) and LinkedIn (Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada/Commissariat à la protection de la vie privée). Add the hashtag #DPW2025 to your posts to join the online conversation.
