January 28th is DataPrivacy Day, an international effort to empower individuals and support businesses in the endeavor to respect privacy, safeguard data, and enable trust. This year, the National Cybersecurity Alliance has extended the dataprivacy campaign to be a week-long initiative.
Every year, up to 10% of Americans fall for a scam, which often leads to the exposure of their personal data, according to Legaljobs. Why Is DataPrivacy Important? If you have never been affected by a scam or issue such as identity theft, then you may not yet fully comprehend the important role that dataprivacy plays.
As we know, a lot of this data is valuable to advertisers—this is what pundits focus on when they invoke the value of “oil” in discussing modern datacollection—but this data is also valuable to an entirely separate group that has learned to abuse private information in novel and frightening ways: Cybercriminals.
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) was passed in November 2020. It amends the 2018 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) introduced in response to rising consumer dataprivacy concerns. Datacollection is a nearly universal activity for companies in the 21st century.

This is why the issue of dataprivacy is so significant and why individuals and enterprises alike should view the protection of personal data as a team effort.

We also required apps to be more transparent about how they handle user information by launching new developer requirements and a new Data deletion option for apps that support user accounts and datacollection. Safeguarding apps from scams and fraud is an ongoing battle for developers.
