28 January - Data Protection Day
The European Data Protection Day is intended as a reminder that our personal data is part of our privacy and therefore enjoys particularly high protection.
In the EU, strict provisions apply to data protection, resulting from the definitions of privacy in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 12), the European Convention on Human Rights (Article 8) and the European Charter of Fundamental Rights (Article 7). The protection of personal data is explicitly highlighted in Article 8 of the Charter.
