Data Privacy Week – Take control of your data

The 2024 data protection week is upon us! This year’s theme is “Take control of your data”.

Information is possibly the greatest asset of our generation whether it be personal, non-personal and/or commercial. Therefore, it is paramount that we are aware of our rights in relation to data. In Botswana, the key statutory instrument that regulates data privacy is the Data Protection Act. The Data Protection Act regulates the protection of personal data and ensures the privacy of individuals in relation to their personal data.

In honour of data protection awareness week our Corporate and Commercial Division invites the general public to enquire on anything in relation to data privacy and protections at our offices on the 26th of January 2024.

Know your rights, protect your data.
