Happy Data Privacy Day!
Data Privacy Day is an annual awareness day to spotlight and foster education around online privacy and data protection, held every year on January 28 by the National Cyber Security Alliance and Stay Safe Online. Consumer data privacy is taken for granted by big tech companies like Google and Facebook, which sell access to consumer data to third parties for advertising purposes, revealing too much about a person's private identity. At Bugcrowd, data privacy is seriously taken and crowdsourced security is used to find and fix vulnerabilities in code before cyber attackers do, with the company keeping its Crowd's data safe through identity checks and not storing confidential information on its servers. Security and privacy are paramount, and progress in data privacy has only just begun, making it imperative to maintain good privacy practices year-round.
