The Data Protection Commission published a list of over 100 data collectors who are not abiding by the Data Protection Act.

The Executive Director of the Data Commission Teki Akuetteh Falconer at a press conference early this month said this will be followed by the arrest of the offending data collectors and their subsequent arraignment.

The Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) sets out the rules and principles governing the collection, use, disclosure and care for your personal data or information by a data controller or processor. It recognises a person’s right (data subject rights) to protect their personal data or information by mandating a data controller or processor to process (collect, use, disclose, erase, etc) such personal data or information in accordance with the individual’s rights.

The law explicitly states that “a person who fails to register as a data collector, but processes personal data commits an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine of not more than two hundred and fifty penalty units or a term of imprisonment of not more than two years or to both.”

The list of companies flouting the Act include public and private organisations; security agencies, airline companies, Law firms, hotels and restaurants, companies, partnerships and trusts, hospitals and clinics, microfinance and insurance companies, accounting and auditing firms, educational institutions, media houses, voluntary groups and associations.

Below is the full list of offending institutions.
