Abstract
Data Privacy is occasionally referred to as ‘Information Privacy’. It builds on the established notion of privacy to regulate the relationship between the collection and dissemination of personal data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, as well as legal and political issues surrounding Data Privacy. This paper discusses the Data Protection Regulations of 2019 as issued by the National Information Technology Development Agency. It is the closest item in the Nigerian legal framework that adopts a deliberate and comprehensive approach to the issue of Data Privacy protection in the country.
