This page is dedicated to Mozillians to update them & provide them with information on how to participate in community activities on Data Privacy Day.

Data Privacy Day

Data Privacy Day is an international holiday that occurs every January 28. The purpose of Data Privacy Day (Data Protection Day in Europe) is to raise awareness and promote privacy and data protection best practices.

Privacy and User Control are key values for Mozilla and Firefox. Data Privacy Day is an opportunity for us to raise the volume and awareness of Mozilla and Firefox as advocates for empowered online life!

New Privacy & You Page

Privacy is an important element to our online lives. For many of us, it's a complicated and confusing issue. But, there are smart, simple things you can know and do to help you take control and create an online privacy environment that is right for you.

We're working on a new Privacy & You page that helps users develop their own online Personal Privacy Practices. It's called Smart on Privacy.

Launch date: TBD

Join the #Privacy Chat

What is it?

Data Privacy Day is coming up on January 28 and we’re excited to strike up a conversation. To educate users everywhere about online privacy, we’re hosting an hour-long Twitter #PrivacyChat.

Mozilla has long been a champion of privacy. This is an opportunity for us, you, and everyone to elevate our voices on the topic of online privacy!

How You Can Join

On January 28 at 11am PT (2pm ET, 7pm UTC), log onto Twitter and follow the hashtag #PrivacyChat. From there, we encourage you to:

  • Ask questions using the #PrivacyChat hashtag. Experts (Gabriel Weinberg from Duck Duck Go, and others) will be on-hand to respond to questions!
  • Answer questions you see in the stream using the #PrivacyChat hashtag. There will be questions that @Firefox as the chat moderator asks, and additionally questions that Twitter users will ask about privacy.

Invite Others!

Starting now through the 28th, you can help us publicize the Twitter chat!
