The TLC Group of Companies is planning to raise awareness with a series of free online events throughout Data Privacy Week from January 25 – 29, 2021.

Commissioner White said: “Celebrated every January 28th, Data Privacy Day serves as an annual reminder of the importance of privacy rights – as well as the tremendous impact that data and technology have on individuals. I am delighted to join TLC’s efforts to promote privacy awareness by speaking with school-aged children and discussing the issues faced by specific business sectors, such as healthcare. I hope you can join us, and please always know that my office is here to support you and answer your questions.”

“Especially now, with our always-connected lives, Covid-19 tracing, remote working & learning, and the increase in online shopping, the community needs to know how their data is collected, used, stored and protected.
