POTRAZ has organised public sensitisation and awareness workshops across the country to educate data subjects about their rights as enshrined under the Cyber and Data Protection Act [Chapter 12:07].
Harare Province will be the first to have the workshops on 20, 22, 27 June 2023.
In a public notice, POTRAZ as the Designated Data Protection Authority of Zimbabwe informs all citizens that their online activities generate a trail of data as websites and applications collect data among other things, individual behaviours and interests.
Some organisations also collect and process personal data information for various reasons.
“To ensure personal data is protected from abuse or manipulation, Government has enacted the Cyber and Data Protection Act [Chapter 12:07].
” The Act ensures that individuals have better control over their personal information and that this information is processed for a legitimate purpose and in a lawful, fair and transparent manner”, said POTRAZ director general DR Gift Machengete.
