What You Can Do

Even if you only have 60 seconds to spare, here are ways everyone can make a difference on Data Privacy Day and the weeks surrounding January 28^th.

Social Media:

• Post privacy tips and reminders about Data Privacy Day on your social networks. Use the hashtag #DPD13 on Twitter. You can download pre-written social media status updates here: http://staysafeonline.org/data-privacy-day/promote-dpd/ 

• Replace your profile picture or Facebook cover photo with the DPD logo the days surrounding January 28th. ( You can download the logo here: http://staysafeonline.org/data-privacy-day/promote-dpd/)

• Blog about privacy. Use social networks such as Facebook and Twitter to disseminate information and encourage customers, employees, friends and family to learn more about being conscientious while online.

At Home:

• Send an email to friends and family informing them that January 28^th is Data Privacy Day and encourage them to visit the DPD website: http://staysafeonline.org/data-privacy-day/about/.

• Print out copies of tip sheets and post on your refrigerator and next to your home computer(s). (Download at http://staysafeonline.org /data-privacy-day/resources )

• Hold a “family conference” to discuss how to protect your personal information. Having “the online protection talk” with your family can spare them of having their online reputation compromised. Download our tip sheets to help with the conversation.

At Work/School:

• Display Data Privacy Day (DPD) tip sheets in your school, office, community center or religious institution.  (Download at http://staysafeonline.org/data-privacy-day/everyone-resources/ )
