Bill > J00029

This resolution requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 28, 2025, as Data Privacy Day in New York State, aligning with the national observance of Data Privacy Day. The resolution highlights the importance of data privacy by noting its origins in a 1981 international treaty and its current observance in multiple countries. It emphasizes the growing risks of data breaches, identity theft, and personal information vulnerability in an increasingly digital world. The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) leads the Data Privacy Day campaign, which aims to raise awareness about protecting personal information online, educate businesses and consumers about privacy risks, and promote technological tools that help individuals control their personally identifiable information. The resolution underscores the critical need for greater public understanding of data privacy, recognizing how digital commerce and communication have made personal data more exposed and potentially compromised. By memorializing this day, the legislative body seeks to draw attention to the ongoing challenges of data protection and encourage proactive measures to safeguard personal information.
