Press Release - WORLD POST DAY AND ADAE 09/10/2023

WORLD POST DAY: Together for Trust: Collaborating for a Safe and Connected Future

 

On the occasion of the World Post Day, on October 9, the Hellenic Authority of Communication Security and Privacy (ADAE) highlights the importance of protecting privacy in postal communications to ensure the individual citizen's right to privacy.

Postal communications are an essential part of citizens' daily lives and are considered a key pillar of economic and social development. In the era of digital transformation, security combined with innovation are a priority for the industry. In this context, ADAE is active at national and European level and in close cooperation with European institutions, international organizations, and postal service providers.

The Authority participates in the European project "DigiGreeNPost Towards a more Digital and Greener Postal Era Project" which started in 2022 and intends to bring resilience to the postal industry through the provision of upskilling for postal employees in green and digital competence areas, acting as an enabler towards the implementation of digital and green policy agendas, and building an understanding of the importance of digital and green-related jobs throughout the sector.

Ensuring the confidentiality of communications in postal services is always at the heart of the Authority's actions. ADAE stands by providers and citizens, recognizing the critical role of post and courier services in the age of digital transition, but also of their decisive influence in the world of e-commerce.
