On this maiden episode of Privacy Notes, brought to you by Taxaide Technologies Ltd, Gbenga and Urenna share insights into the Landscape of Data Protection in Nigeria.
Data protection is the fair and proper use of information about people. It’s part of the fundamental right to privacy – but on a more practical level, it’s really about building trust between people and organizations.
It’s also about removing unnecessary barriers to trade and co-operation. It exists in part because of international treaties for common standards that enable the free flow of data across borders.
Data protection is essential to innovation. Good practice in data protection is vital to ensure public trust in, engagement with, and support for innovative uses of data in both the public and private sectors.
