Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about privacy issues and promoting the importance of protecting personal data. PAW is a collaborative effort between state and territory privacy regulators and the Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities forum, aimed at educating individuals and organisations about privacy risks and how to mitigate them.
