Data Privacy Workshop

Data has emerged as one of the most valuable assets in today’s interconnected digital landscape, driving innovation, commerce, and communication. However, the growing reliance on data has raised significant concerns, particularly regarding the escalating cyber threats and privacy issues.

On August 11, 2023, the Honourable President granted approval for the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023, commonly referred to as the ‘Privacy Law’ or ‘Data Protection Law.’ This historic legislation promotes accountability in the management of digital personal data, emphasising the importance of explicit and transparent consent for data collection, processing, and storage.
