What does the Data Controller or Administrator really do?

In 2018, the personal details of about 80,000 Nigerian patients who participated in the HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey were at risk of being exposed. The success of the exercise, which was one of the world’s biggest HIV surveys ever, was almost diminished following the use of a user-friendly and once open source database management system that was not properly secured. That incident involved a lack of expertise or naivety on the part of the data controllers or administrators. This will be the focus of this episode of Privacy Notes. On this episode, we will look at the concepts of the Data Controller, Data Administrator and other related roles of the Data Protection Officer. This episode also takes a look at Third Party and Data Protection Compliance Organisation as used under the NDPR; setting out their rules and time-sensitive obligations.

Data Protection and the Law - Is the Law on your side?

Ever so often, we are required to provide our personal information - either for public or private goods and services. It could be while trying to buy a new SIM card, or purchasing a new mobile phone. It could even be while trying to apply for a job or after you have been offered a job. In other instances, it could be during the process of announcing the birth of a new child or notifying the coroner over someone's demise. Whatever the instance is, we are trusting someone to protect our personal information. A study in 2018 found that the personal information of an average subject was worth about 240 U.S. dollars. With over 2.6 billion users on Facebook alone, the cost of personal data on the social microblogging is about 642 billion U.S. dollars. This makes the sale of personal data quite lucrative, doesn't it? So, what happens when those you've trusted to protect your personal information breach that trust? On this episode of Privacy Notes, we will discuss the current privacy rights laws in a bid to help you appreciate it better. We'll also have a conversation about the current laws on Personal Data protection. Michael Sile and Urenna Ukonne of TaxTech have more
