FPF publishes overview of Tanzania's PIPA

The Future of Privacy Forum published an overview of Tanzania's Personal Information Protection Act, 2022. Tanzania is the "35th country in Africa to enact a standalone data protection law and effectively extends data protection safeguards to more than 63 million people," Policy Analyst Mercy King'Ori and Policy Counsel for Global Privacy Katerina Demetzou write. The law contains unique provisions differentiating Tanzania from other countries, including a mandatory requirement for all controllers and processors to appoint a data protection officer, they said.
