This day serves as a reminder of how vital it is to safeguard your privacy in an increasingly interconnected and digitalized society. From the apps we use daily to online platforms and services, your personal information should always be treated with care and respect.
This year's European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) event underscores the growing challenges and opportunities in the field of data protection. As the digital landscape evolves, so do the strategies for ensuring that our personal information is handled responsibly and transparently.
How can you take charge of your data?
Here are some practical steps to protect your privacy:
- Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication where possible.
- Stay informed about how your data is used by reading privacy policies.

By being informed and proactive, you can enjoy the benefits of the digital world while safeguarding your rights.
Let’s continue to champion a digital future where privacy and security are priorities for all.
