Canada: OPC announces data privacy week and launches strategic plan
On January 22, 2024, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) announced the kickoff of the data privacy week and launched its strategic plan. The OPC highlighted that the theme for this year’s Data Privacy Week is 'Take Control of Your Data' and that it would be releasing three new videos that build on this theme, with tips for individuals on protecting personal information, raising concerns with a business, and protecting privacy while using wearable devices. The OPC also noted that the plan outlines the three key strategic priorities that will guide their work for the next three years.
What are the three strategic priorities?
The OPC mentioned that its strategic plan includes three main priorities, including:
- maximizing the impact of the work that it does to promote and protect the fundamental right to privacy;
- addressing and advocating for privacy in this time of technological change; and
- championing the privacy rights of children.
Furthermore, the OPC announced that it is seeking feedback from stakeholders to help inform how the plan is implemented to advance the identified strategic priorities, and comments can be submitted via email to [email protected] or a feedback form on the OPC website until March 31, 2024.
