Welcome to Data Privacy Week! Privacy may be new, but it is top of mind for consumers, businesses and regulators alike. This week we will share our insights on growing and improving your business’ privacy practices. #IAPPcelebratesDPD #Privacy #DataPrivacy #BusinessLaw

Happy Lunar New Year! We wish you good health and happiness in the upcoming year. #yearoftherabbit #happylunarnewyear2023

Let's introduce the Data Map. 🗺 A Data Map is an inventory of Personal Information that shows how data moves throughout your company. 🗺 A Data Map should show the flow of data, beginning at the collection stage, and account for how data is processed, and where it is stored.

🗺 Having a Data Map is the first step to understanding what steps your business needs to take to be compliant with Privacy Laws. Need help with your Data Map? Let's chat! Additional Resources: iapp.org #IAPPcelebratesDPD #Privacy #PrivacyLaw #DataMap

How does MDK celebrate Data Privacy Week? 🍕 A lunch and learn! #IAPPcelebratesDPD #Privacy

🍕 Today we reviewed our data privacy practices & policies & enjoyed a pizza lunch. As data privacy is continuously growing, our education and training will continue so we keep sharp. #IAPPcelebratesDPD

We can't celebrate Data Privacy week without talking about accountability. ✋ Accountability is a Fair Information Practice and one of PIPEDA's 10 principles. ✋ As a business, this means being responsible for PI in your control, including PI you transfer to 3rd parties.

✋ Accountability looks like: - implementing privacy policies and practices - training staff - developing information to explain your business' policies and practices #IAPPcelebratesDPD #DataPrivacy #PrivacyLaw

Next up on our Data Privacy Week celebration - Safeguards!

🔒 Safeguards are another Fair Information Principle. There's no question that without adequate safeguards, you can't protect Personal Information.

🔒 Safeguards can be physical, administrative, or technical. The sensitivity of the Personal Information should guide the types of safeguards you implement.

🔒 Contact us if you have any questions regarding Data Privacy best practices. #IAPPcelebratesDPD #PrivacyLaw #Safeguards
