A Website Privacy Notice is a fundamental legal requirement for any website operating in Nigeria that collects personal data from users. This document is mandated by the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019 and must be prominently displayed on the website. It serves multiple purposes: ensuring legal compliance with Nigerian data protection laws, building trust with users by providing transparency about data processing practices, and protecting the organization from potential liability. The notice should be updated regularly to reflect changes in data processing practices or regulatory requirements. It's particularly crucial for websites that collect sensitive personal data, process large volumes of information, or transfer data internationally. The document must address specific requirements under Nigerian law, including data subject rights, security measures, and data retention policies.
