EUROPEAN DATA PROTECTION DAY – PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY ONLINE AND OFF

European Data Protection Day takes place on Sunday 28th January. Irish civil
rights group Digital Rights Ireland (DRI) has put together a list of things
you can do to protect your privacy. DRI Chairman TJ McIntyre said:

“European research shows that people are concerned about their privacy but
generally feel they know little about what they can do to protect
themselves. Digital Rights Ireland has put up on its website a list of
practical things you can do to protect your privacy, online and off. If you
are interested in stopping spam text messages, cutting down on junkmail,
stopping telephone calls trying to sell you something, or finding out what
information a company or body holds about you then visit
www.digitalrights.ie for more information.”
