Webinar
Data Privacy Day 2026 (APAC)
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026 - 12pm AEDT | 9am SGT/PST | 2pm NZST
Data Privacy Day is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of privacy and data protection. It’s a chance for privacy professionals to reflect on the current landscape, share insights on emerging trends, and champion best practices within their organisations.
Details:
2025 has been a pivotal year for data privacy. In Australia, key legislative updates are reshaping the landscape as the Privacy Act continues to evolve, with new provisions around data breach notification, privacy rights, and the powers of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) transforming. In other parts of APAC, regulations continue to advance such as new rules for India’s DPDP, and respective PDPA’s across Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in data privacy also continues to evolve. 2025 saw the first provisions of the EU AI Act enter into force, and the introduction of draft AI legislation in South Korea, Vietnam, and China. Businesses must stay vigilant as these frameworks influence compliance strategies in 2026 and beyond.
Join our expert panel discussion as we review key developments impacting the year ahead and explore how we can all raise awareness and promote privacy and data protection best practices.
