Every January 28th is Data Privacy Day. Millions of people are unaware of and uninformed about how their personal information is being used, collected, or shared in our digital society. Data Privacy Day aims to inspire dialogue and empower individuals and companies to take action.

The NCMF is educating K-12 students to be good stewards of the internet. Several of our #CyberChats are focused on Data Privacy and Safe Internet Practices. See the link below to visit our Online Education via Nepris page where you can link to recordings of past #CyberChats.

Below are a few examples of related #CyberChats you will find on the page:
