Privacy Scorecard Report 2024
This marks the 4th edition of the Unwanted Witness Privacy Scorecard Report, a monitoring tool rooted in local data protection laws and internationally acceptable principles aims to take stock of compliance and privacy practices of both private and public sectors and the impact on user privacy rights.
This assessment that is conducted annually, expands its scope beyond previous evaluations to include Rwanda and Tanzania, alongside Kenya, Uganda, Mauritius, and Zimbabwe. The 2024 report builds on prior evaluations of data protection and privacy compliance, reflecting the evolving digital landscape and the increasing regulatory attention on safeguarding personal data across the region. As digital economies continue to grow, so do concerns around personal data security, unauthorized surveillance, and data protection enforcement.
This edition introduces a more detailed and robust methodology, evaluating the performance of data collectors across eight sectors: telecommunications, e- commerce, online betting, banks and finance, insurance, government agencies / bodies, health and digital loans.
