Privacy Awareness
Week 2021

Privacy Awareness Week 2021

This year, the Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) will revolve around how we can continue protecting the data privacy of Filipinos, promote economic recovery and building trust between the government, private institutions, and the citizens, all while we’re dealing with the pandemic. At a time where digital transformation is necessary to maintain a contact-less and efficient transaction, data privacy has come to the forefront of these developments.

5 ways to celebrate PAW

1.

Think of promos with discounts or freebies, awareness sessions, and games that customers can avail and participate in.
2.

Take pride with your continued efforts to protect your data subjects’ data privacy and upholding their rights. You can also translate your policies and notices into videos or infographics to highlight your privacy compliance.
3.

Conduct activities to engage your stakeholders and similar organizations. Encourage them to, not only know more about data privacy, but also comply with the DPA.
4.

Use these PAW wallpapers to remind your employees to observe your privacy policies.
5.

Add your company’s logo and use this exclusive Privacy Awareness Week 2021 Banner on your official social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to show that you’re celebrating PAW this year! You can also use our PAW2021 FB frame on your personal accounts!
