International Association of Privacy Professionals - History

History

Initiated in 2000, the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) was originally constituted as the Privacy Officers Association (POA). In 2002 it became the International Association of Privacy Officers (IAPO) when the POA merged with a competing group, the Association of Corporate Privacy Officers (ACPO). The group was renamed to the International Association of Privacy Professionals in 2003 to reflect a broadened mission to include the ranks of corporate personnel, beyond the position of Chief Privacy Officer, engaged in privacy-related tasks.
