Plumas Bank announces commitment to respecting data by becoming a 2025 Data Privacy Week Champion

Plumas Bank today announced its commitment to Data Privacy Week 2025 by registering as a Champion. As a Champion, Plumas Bank recognizes and supports the principle that all organizations share the responsibility of being conscientious stewards of personal information.

Data Privacy Week is an annual expanded effort from Data Privacy Day — taking place from Jan. 27 – 31, 2025. The goal of Data Privacy Week is to spread awareness about online privacy among individuals and organizations. The goal is twofold: to help citizens understand that they have the power to manage their data and to help organizations understand why it is important that they respect their users’ data.

Aaron Boigon, Plumas Bank’s Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, emphasizes the importance of data privacy by saying, “Securing our clients’ data is a top priority at Plumas Bank. It’s important to note that everyone has a responsibility to protect their personal data.” 

Take control of your data
All your online activity generates a trail of data. Websites, apps, and services collect data on your behaviors, interests and purchases. Sometimes, this includes personal data, like your Social Security and driver’s license numbers. It can even include data about your physical self, like health data – think about how a smartwatch counts and records how many steps you take.

While it’s true that you cannot control how each byte of data about you and your family is shared and processed, you are not helpless. In many cases, you can control how you share your data with a few simple steps. Remember, your data is precious, and you deserve to be selective about who you share it with.

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.
