Privacy Awareness Week: April 29 to May 5, 2012
Privacy Awareness Week is an event to highlight and promote awareness about privacy rights and responsibilities in the community.
The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) is focusing awareness efforts on five distinct areas of concern, one for each day of the work week:
- Monday, April 30, is Youth Privacy Day
- Tuesday, May 1, is Mobile Devices Privacy Day
- Wednesday, May 2, is Video Surveillance Privacy Day
- Thursday, May 3, is Internet Privacy Day
- Friday, May 4, is Health Privacy Day
Each day the OIPC will be posting facts, tips, videos, quizzes, and links to information addressing each area of concern on both the OIPC website (www.oipc.nl.ca), as well as the OIPC Twitter (www.twitter.com/OIPCNL 
). This information is meant to make people aware of the various concerns associated with these specific privacy areas, as well as to open a dialogue about these issues and offer tips and advice on how to better secure your personal information.
For more information, please see the OIPC website at www.oipc.nl.ca.
