Happy Data Privacy Day!

On Data Privacy Day 2022, Cloudflare highlights key topics that shaped the landscape in 2021 and will continue to be important in 2022. These include data security and privacy, data localization, regulatory enforcement actions on cookies, and new or updated data protection regulations worldwide. In terms of data security and privacy, Cloudflare has invested in technologies like its public DNS resolver and Oblivious DNS over HTTPs (ODoH) to enhance data privacy. The company also developed privacy-enhancing Zero Trust products such as Selective Logging for Cloudflare Gateway. In 2021, the focus was on data localization debates, with Austria's data protection authority setting a tone that shows no sign of slowing in 2022. Pro-Privacy analytics are expected to continue being an area of focus in 2022 as well, and Cloudflare is excited to play a role in ushering in a new era for websites running third-party tools like analytics in a faster, more secure, and privacy-protective way. The company will also continue to fine-tune its data localization offerings and expand to serve other regions where customers are finding a need to localize their data.
