<p><strong>Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The National Information Technology
Development Agency (NITDA) is statutorily mandated by the NITDA Act of 2007 to
develop regulations for electronic governance and monitoring of the use of
information technology and electronic data. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Conscious of the concerns around privacy
and protection of Personal Data and the grave consequences of leaving Personal
Data processing unregulated, NITDA has issued the Nigeria Data Protection
Regulation (NDPR). The objectives of the regulation are as follows:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>to safeguard the rights of
natural persons to data privacy;</li><li>to foster safe conduct for
transactions involving the exchange of Personal Data;</li><li>to prevent manipulation of
Personal Data; and</li><li>to ensure that Nigerian
businesses remain competitive in international trade through the safe-guards
afforded by a sound data protection regulation.</li></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The regulation applies to all storage and
processing of Personal Data conducted in respect of Nigerian citizens and
residents.</p>

<p><strong>European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thinking
that the GDPR is not your issue because your organization doesn’t have a
presence in Europe? Well, think again! If you offer any products or services to
the European market, or if you collect data on European customers, the new
privacy rules apply to you.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
was adopted in April 2016 and will take effect across the European Union (EU)
on 25 May 2018, when it supersedes the 28 current national data protection laws
based on the 1995 Data Protection Directive (DPD).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Introduced to keep pace with the modern digital
landscape, the purpose of the new Regulation is twofold: </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>to improve consumer confidence in organisations
that hold and process their personal data by reinforcing their privacy and
security rights consistently across the EU, and </li><li>to simplify the free flow of personal data in
the EU through a coherent and consistent data protection framework across the
member states.</li></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>GDPR applies to both the controller and processor
processing of personal data. The Regulation will become relevant for companies
as soon as any data processing takes place.</p>
