"My Personal Information is Strictly Protected, and Others' Personal Information is Carefully Secured"

'Personal Information Protection Awareness Week Campaign' until June 24

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Personal Information Protection Commission will conduct the '2020 Personal Information Protection Awareness Week Campaign' for one month until the 24th of next month.

Under the slogan "Protect my personal information thoroughly GO! Lock others' personal information carefully GO!", the campaign promotes personal information protection rules that citizens, public institutions, and businesses must follow.

Unlike previous years, this year's campaign is a government-wide joint campaign centered on the Personal Information Protection Commission, involving 779 organizations including central administrative agencies, affiliated public institutions, local governments, and local public enterprises.

Not only public institutions but also related organizations such as the Personal Information Protection Self-Regulation Council, Personal Information Protection Association, the Korea Federation of Banks, and private companies including Naver, Kakao, KT, LG Uplus, and SK Telecom cooperate in the campaign by displaying banners and posters.

Earlier, on the 22nd of this month, the Commission held the '2020 Personal Information Protection Awareness Week Campaign Launch Ceremony' jointly with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Korea Communications Commission, the Financial Services Commission, the Personal Information Protection Self-Regulation Council, the Personal Information Protection Association, the Korea Federation of Banks, and Naver, Kakao, KT, LG Uplus, and SK Telecom, pledging to lead the spread of a voluntary personal information protection culture.

Kim Il-jae, Acting Chairperson of the Personal Information Protection Commission, said, "Personal information leaks caused by small carelessness often lead to secondary and tertiary damages, causing significant mental and economic harm to citizens," adding, "I hope this campaign will help make small practices for personal information protection a daily habit and further create a culture of personal information protection."
