Privacy Awareness Week

Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) is celebrated at OVIC every year to raise awareness of privacy rights, issues and trends, and the importance of good privacy practices.

This year, PAW will run from 16 – 22 June, exploring the theme Privacy: It’s everyone’s business. More information on OVIC’s PAW celebrations will be available on this page closer to the date.
