January 28, is International Data Privacy Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a global reminder to respect personal information, and the perfect time for business owners to review how they handle data.<\/p>\n

Here are some essential tips to keep your business on track.<\/p>\n

First,<\/strong> the golden rule: if you don\u2019t need it, don\u2019t collect it. Stick to the information you actually need to do the work.
\nSecondly<\/strong>, be transparent. Ensure you have a clear, accessible privacy policy that tells customers exactly why you\u2019re collecting their details and how they’ll be used.
\nFinally<\/strong>, before adopting new technology, take a moment to understand the risks, and always consider the original purpose of data before using it.<\/p>\n

Also, Data Privacy day isn’t just about how others handle our information, it’s also the perfect time for you to take control of your own digital footprint.<\/span><\/p>\n

Start with your phone.<\/strong>
\nDoes that flashlight app really need access to your location or contacts? What do other apps have access to? If it feels invasive, delete it.
\nNext, take five minutes to lock down your social media privacy settings and update any recycled passwords.
\nRemember, your personal data is as valuable as currency\u2014so be careful where you spend it and only share what is absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
