Paradigm Initiative Raises Concerns Over Tanzania’s Personal Data Protection Act
Paradigm Initiative highlights concerns with Tanzania's Data Protection Act, warning that exceptions to data disclosure may compromise privacy rights and urging stronger oversight to safeguard citizens' data.
Paradigm Initiative has raised concerns on X regarding Tanzania’s personal data protection framework, specifically addressing provisions in Sections 25 and 26 of the Act.
While Section 26 prohibits data disclosure without consent, exceptions outlined in Section 25 could potentially lead to unauthorized data sharing, undermining individuals’ privacy rights.
Paradigm Initiative called for robust oversight mechanisms to prevent misuse of these exceptions, ensuring citizens’ data and constitutional rights remain protected.
