The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) is launching a short-form content contest to raise public awareness about data protection and encourage security practices in daily life. The initiative aims to discover practical methods and ideas to prevent damage from data breaches, making them easily accessible to the public.
On November 10, the PIPC announced the 'Personal Information Protection Short-Form Content Contest.'
The theme of the contest is 'Tips for Protecting My Precious Personal Information.' Participants can submit ideas related to practical data protection methods, tips for preventing secondary damage from data breaches and voice phishing, and experiences with PIPC's data protection services.
Any South Korean citizen can participate individually or as a team. Participants are required to create short-form video content of around 60 seconds and submit it between November 11 and 30. The submitted works will be showcased in real-time on the PIPC's YouTube channel. The final winners will be selected based on user engagement (views, likes, shares, comments) and expert evaluations.
Winning entries will be posted on the PIPC's official YouTube and Instagram channels and will also be used for educational materials and promotional activities.
Kim Jik-dong, a spokesperson for the PIPC, stated, "Valuing and protecting one's personal information through small actions is the foundation of a safe digital society. We hope this contest will uncover and widely disseminate the public's clever and innovative ideas for data protection."
Through this contest, the PIPC also aims to enhance awareness of existing data protection services. Currently, the PIPC operates services such as 'Finding My Leaked Information,' which checks if account information has been compromised on the dark web, and the 'Eraser Service,' which assists in deleting or blocking access to personal information posted online during childhood and adolescence.
