Abstract :
Data privacy looks at the authorized access
of data by defining it in terms of the person who has
access to which data, and who does not have access to
the same data. Data privacy is wholly dependent on
data protection, since one cannot guarantee the privacy
of particular data when the same data is not protected
by efficient technology. This thus puts data protection
as an essential element of data privacy. Data protection
laws and regulations are very critical in ensuring data
protection because they give guidance on the best
practices when it comes to individuals, organizations
and the government on how to consume personal data
of citizens, thus regulating how personal data is
processed. However, governance of such data suffers
from a lot of uncertainties, emanating from factors such
as technological advancements, inefficiencies in Trans
National Data Protection Laws, privacy not being an
absolute right, compliance challenges such as lack of
ethics, technological convergence and globalization.
