Data Privacy Day vs. Data Privacy Week

The primary objective of this week-long campaign is to raise awareness about online privacy for both individuals and organizations. It aims to empower citizens by highlighting their ability to manage their data while emphasizing the significance for organizations to responsibly steward personal information

How to Take Control of Your Business Data
As part of our commitment to Data Privacy Week, EstesGroup encourages individuals to take control of their data. In an era where online activities generate extensive data trails, it is crucial to be mindful of the information shared. This includes personal data such as Social Security and driver’s license numbers, as well as health data collected by devices like smartwatches. While complete control over data processing may not be possible, individuals have the power to make informed decisions about sharing their data.
EstesGroup offers the following steps to empower individuals in managing their personal information:
- Be Informed: Understand the types of data collected about you.
- Review Privacy Settings: Regularly check and update privacy settings on websites and apps.
