Jetico is once again proud to support Data Privacy Week as an official Champion.
Taking place from January 26 to 30, 2026, Data Privacy Week brings together organizations and individuals to raise awareness about the importance of protecting personal data and respecting privacy in an increasingly digital world.
Data Privacy in Everyday Digital Life
Every day, we create and share data through the devices we use, the apps we rely on and the services we access online. From personal files to work documents, this information often ends up stored in more places than we expect.
Respecting data privacy means understanding:
- What data we share
- How sensitive information is protected
- Making sure data that is no longer needed does not stay behind
These simple principles apply whether you are managing your own devices or handling data as part of an organization.
Jetico’s Ongoing Commitment to Data Privacy
At Jetico, data privacy is an ongoing responsibility. Becoming a Data Privacy Week Champion reflects Jetico’s long-standing focus on helping people and organizations protect data that must be kept through strong encryption, and securely remove data that is no longer needed.
This approach supports privacy, reduces unnecessary data exposure and helps build trust in everyday digital interactions – not just during awareness campaigns.
Practical Tools to Support Better Data Privacy
In addition to its commercial solutions, Jetico offers free tools that help individuals and organizations take simple, practical steps to improve data privacy.
- Encrypt Files Before Storing or Sharing
BCArchive allows users to compress and encrypt sensitive files using strong encryption, helping protect data from unauthorized access during storage or transfer. - Protect Files While Working Online
BestCrypt Data Shelter helps keep sensitive files protected when devices are connected to the internet, shielding them from ransomware and other cyber threats. - Reduce Unnecessary Data Collection on Windows

As part of Data Privacy Week, Jetico also shared practical resources to help users better understand data privacy and encryption key control.

About Data Privacy Week
Data Privacy Week began as Data Privacy Day in the United States and Canada in January 2008 as an extension of the Data Protection Day celebration in Europe. Data Protection Day commemorates the Jan. 28, 1981, signing of Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy and data protection. NCA, the nation’s leading nonprofit, public-private partnership promoting cybersecurity and privacy education and awareness, leads the effort in North America each year.
