In Africa, various jurisdictions have data protection laws to secure the transfer of personal data between entities. These laws largely affect multinational companies that do international trade.
Organizations around the world are increasingly investing in the African market. To lawfully carry out business operations in Africa, it is imperative for organizations to understand the data protection landscape in Africa.
