Privacy Awareness Week 2023
"Privacy 101: Back to Basics"
UQ is proud to partner with the Office of the Information Commissioner to support Privacy Awareness Week, which is held annually across Australia in the first week of May. The theme of PAW 2023 is "Privacy 101: Back to Basics". It’s a great time to reflect on simple, everyday actions that we can all take to protect our privacy and the privacy of others.
