January Privacy Month Campaign is a community led campaign/initiative to celebrate International Data Privacy Day. The campaign was originated by Mozilla India and is intended to be a global campaign. Communities from all over the world can participate. Please see below for the ways you can get involved. There are two parts - an online campaign with daily content combined with a series of in-person privacy events. Volunteers are welcome to help with online posts, events, teaching kits and other resources, localization, and more.

The goal of the online campaign is to provide a privacy tip a day that an average user could complete in 10 minutes or less. Ideally, the tip would be in the form of a short video, but could be in another format. Tips will be shared through social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. The timeframe is January 2016. Daily online posts will originate from Mozilla India starting on January 1st and can be shared and retweeted around the world.
