Course Description

Introduction to Data Privacy Laws in East Africa


In East Africa, data privacy laws are becoming increasingly important, but keeping track of the different regulations can be challenging. However, many of these laws share common principles. This course is designed to help you understand those key principles, with a focus on East Africa, while also offering a global perspective.


Whether you’re operating in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, or other East African nations—or even working across borders—this course will give you a clear understanding of the general expectations of data protection laws. It highlights the essential elements of data privacy that you should be aware of, no matter where you’re doing business.


What You’ll Learn:


  • The definition of personal data and why it’s important
  • How East African countries are addressing data privacy
  • The rights individuals have regarding their personal data
  • How businesses should protect the personal information of customers and employees
  • Real-life examples from East Africa to make the concepts easier to understand



The course includes engaging animations, case studies, and visuals that make it easy to follow. It’s ideal for businesses, both public and private, that process personal data in East Africa.


Why It Matters:


Not following data privacy laws can be costly. Businesses risk significant fines, legal penalties, and the loss of customer trust. More than that, companies that mishandle personal data can damage their brand. On the other hand, individuals who don’t understand their data privacy rights can be exploited and may miss out on compensation if their personal data is misused.


This course will help both businesses and individuals in East Africa stay compliant, protect data, and understand their rights in a digital world.
