Document background
The Data Privacy Notice is a mandatory document required under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019 for organizations that process personal data of Nigerian residents. It must be provided to data subjects at the point of data collection or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The notice needs to detail the organization's data processing activities, including the types of data collected, purposes of processing, data sharing practices, security measures, and data subject rights. It should be written in clear, plain language and must be easily accessible to all data subjects. The document helps organizations demonstrate compliance with Nigerian data protection requirements while providing transparency about their data handling practices. Regular updates may be needed to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements.
