The Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education designated and operated August 8 as 'Personal Information Destruction Day' to enhance awareness of personal information protection.

This event was organized to actively destroy personal information that has expired its retention period or achieved its purpose in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act, in order to prevent leaks and exposure incidents, and to strengthen awareness of personal information protection. 'August 8th' was chosen to symbolize the meaning of 'destroy quickly'.

The Education Office encouraged the participation of all staff through activities such as providing manuals, and installing promotional banners. They disposed of unnecessary personal information such as files with expired business purposes, system data that had exceeded the retention period, paper documents, and portable storage devices in an irrecoverable manner.

Oh Sun-hwa, the head of the Future Education Department, stated, "We will enhance the responsibility and efficiency of personal information management and establish a culture of regular inspection and deletion of unnecessary personal information."
