Data Privacy Day - January 28th

  • 1.  Data Privacy Day - January 28th

    Posted Jan 22, 2019 09:10 AM
    Greetings P&C!,
    Data Privacy Day, celebrated globally on January 28th, is fast approaching and offers a great opportunity to assess the security and privacy measures that are taken to protect the digital records at your archives. How frequently do you change your password? If you use third-party vendors, what are their data-sharing policies? Do you talk with donors about what metadata you're capturing? These questions and more can jump start the conversation about what steps, even small ones, you can take to better secure your digital records.
    On behalf of the Privacy and Confidentiality Section, I'd like to invite you to check out our latest post about Data Privacy Day - https://privacyandconfidentiality.wordpress.com/2019/01/21/data-privacy-day-january-28-2019/.  Please stay tuned for more updates from the P&C Section. We've been working on some new projects that we're excited to share with you soon.

    Best,
    Rachel Gattermeyer
