We’re Data Privacy Champions,
Are You?
Last week TREYSTA announced its commitment to Data Privacy Week 2023 by registering as a Champion. As a Champion, TREYSTA recognizes and supports the principle that all organizations share the responsibility of being conscientious stewards of personal information.
What is Data Privacy Week?
Data Privacy Week is January 22 – January 28. This annual reminder highlights the importance of educating you and other businesses, including those in Maryland and Pennsylvania, about online privacy and security. Many are unaware of how large corporations are collecting and using their digital activity and personal data.
In the beginning, Data Privacy Week was just one day that began back in 2008. In 2022, the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) extended Data Privacy Day into Data Privacy Week to showcase just how important your data is! Europe has something similar called Data Protection Day which observes the signing of Convention 108, the first international treaty relating to privacy and data protection.
Anytime you visit a website or use an app, your activity is tracked, collected, and stored to be possibly sold or shared without your knowledge. This can even include personal data like your driver’s license number, your birthday, or even your physical health through an activity tracker or smartwatch.
Why is Data Privacy Week Important?
While not all data collection is bad, your data is not only important just to you or the single app that collects it. It’s also valuable to organizations and groups that would pay an arm and a leg for it – many of whom may not have your best interests at heart. But you have the power to take control of your data!

What Is That…?
The Cloud
What is the “cloud”? The cloud refers to software and services that run on the internet, instead of locally on your computer. Some examples of cloud services include Microsoft OneDrive, Netflix, and Dropbox.
In fact, more than 77% of businesses today have at least some portion of their computing infrastructure in the cloud!
The advantage of the cloud is that you can access your information anywhere with an internet connection, an example is being able to access your documents from any device! The prediction for cloud solutions is that we’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the future, so it seems that the cloud is here to stay!

Data loss can happen without notice.
You could come into work and find that flooding has fried your systems. Or you could download the wrong attachment from a seemingly safe email, and find that your data is being held at ransom.
