Happy Data Privacy Day!

I am taking this opportunity to greet a very Happy Data Privacy Day. 28 January every year, is the designated date for such a must-to-celebrate Data Privacy day not only in the United States, but also in some parts of the world - Canada, Australia and some European Union countries too. Stakeholders representing the corporate organisations, universities, Information Commissioners' Office, Privacy Commissioners and all have joint this celebration with its collective mission in data protection and privacy. Detailed history of its birth, the reports of 2008 and 2009 are respectively readable here. In a related development, I have just discovered a Privacy Project website that focuses their discussions, research and consultations in the area of data protection privacy as well. It will be quite fascinating to gauge the progress of these efforts, not only at the United States' level, but also, at the global level.
