Privacy Awareness Week 2024

Privacy Awareness Week 2024

Privacy Awareness Week is now on and runs from 6-12 May this year. I figured it warranted its own post as I wasn't aware of it to put it in the last newsletter.

Looks like there is some decent info for everyone to understand and I've included some links below to resources and events.
