“For us at the EDPS - the independent institution in charge of supervising data protection matters within the EU institutions - data protection day is, well, every day.” However, for the rest of the world, data protection is mainly celebrated on 28 January every year. This date marks the signing of Convention 108 in 1981 - a milestone in its own right - since it is the first legally binding international instrument to protect privacy in the digital age.
