Talking Data 2026
Join us this Data Privacy Week for Talking Data. Each day, we will be hosting 30-minute conversations with industry leaders to discuss all things data privacy!
Data Privacy Week
January 26 – 30, 2026
Your online activity generates a large volume of personal data. Websites, apps, devices, and service providers collect details about what you view, buy, and do online. Some of this data can relate to your physical life, such as health and activity information collected by fitness and wellness apps.
You cannot control every instance of data collection, but you can take practical steps to reduce exposure and make more informed choices. You have a right to data privacy, and your data has value.
As part of Data Privacy Week, Trinity College, in conjunction with the National Cybersecurity Alliance, is sharing resources to help you manage your personal information, adjust common privacy settings, and decide when and how to share your data. Review the resources below to take action.
Take Action
Take Control of Your Data
Your online activity creates a treasure trove of data. This data ranges from your interests and purchases to your online behaviors, and it is collected by websites, apps, devices, services, and companies worldwide. This data can even include information about your physical self, like health data – think about how an app on your phone might count how many steps you take.
