🔐 DATA PROTECTION: MYTHS VS FACTS

Think having a Privacy Policy automatically makes your organisation compliant? Or that data protection is only the responsibility of your IT team?

Think again.

Data protection goes beyond documents and cybersecurity. It is about how personal data is collected, used, shared, retained, secured and disposed of throughout an organisation.

From understanding your compliance obligations to addressing data protection gaps before they become costly issues, proactive compliance is key.

📌 Swipe through to separate the myths from the facts and strengthen your organisation’s approach to data protection.

Understanding Legitimate Interest as a Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Data

Not every form of data processing requires consent. Legitimate Interest may apply when an organisation has a genuine and lawful purpose, the processing is necessary, and it does not unfairly override the individual’s rights, privacy, or freedoms.Before relying on legitimate interest, organisations should consider three key areas:

✅ Identify a genuine interest
✅ Establish necessity
✅ Assess the impact on the individual’s rights and freedoms

Process lawfully. Protect rights. Stay compliant.

Trut is at the heart of responsible data processing. When individuals share their personal information with an organisation, they expect it to be handled with transparency, care, and accountability.

Protecting personal data means obtaining valid consent, respecting data subject rights, and ensuring that every processing activity complies with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA).

Complying with legal and regulatory requirements may require an organisation to process personal data.

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), legal obligation is recognised as a lawful basis for processing personal data. This means that where an organisation is required by law to collect, retain, disclose, or otherwise process personal data, consent may not be required for that specific processing activity.

For instance, organisations may process personal data to meet statutory reporting requirements, comply with regulatory directives, or retain records as required by applicable laws.

However, the existence of a legal obligation does not give organisations unrestricted authority to process personal data. The processing must be necessary for compliance with a specific legal requirement and limited to what is relevant and proportionate.

Selecting the right lawful basis is an important part of responsible data processing and helps organisations demonstrate transparency, accountability, and compliance.

Join us every Wednesday as we explore the lawful bases for processing personal data under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and share practical insights to help organisations strengthen their data protection practices.

Protecting personal data starts with the choices we make every day.

The email you send. The file you share. The system you access. Each action carries a responsibility to keep personal data secure.

Data protection goes beyond meeting compliance requirements; it requires a culture of awareness, accountability, and responsible decision-making.

Choose security over convenience by consistently following your organisation’s data protection policies and procedures in every task.

Consistent attention to data protection can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and other security incidents tomorrow.
