Theme: Prioritize privacy by design

Data Privacy Week 2026 takes place from January 26 to 30. The OPC theme this year is: “Prioritize privacy by design.”

Data Privacy Week is an excellent opportunity for all organizations to reflect on how they handle personal information. Creating a culture that emphasizes privacy at the outset will demonstrate respect for individuals’ data, enhance your reputation, and reduce the risk of costly data breaches.

Prioritizing privacy by design supports compliance with privacy law and ultimately helps organizations to build trust with Canadians.

During Data Privacy Week, we invite you to share social media posts from our account on LinkedIn (Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada/Commissariat à la protection de la vie privée). Add the hashtag #DPW2026 to your posts to join the online conversation.
