January 28 is celebrated as Data Privacy Day (DPD) across the world.

• The objective of the day is to sensitize individuals and disseminate privacy practices and principles. It encourages everyone to own their privacy responsibilities to create a culture of privacy.
• The theme for this year is ‘Think Privacy First’.
• In this digital age, it is pragmatic to prioritize data privacy, both for individuals and businesses. We, as a society, collectively must become more conscious of privacy to enable trust and evangelize best practices, as now is the time to think privacy first.
