In a world where every click, swipe, login, and online activity builds a detailed digital profile about you, your interests, location, health habits, finances, even your daily steps, it is imperative to know that you have the power (and the right) to decide who collects it, how it is used, and for how long.
The theme, Take Control of Your Data, seeks to empower individuals to reclaim agency: review privacy settings, question unnecessary data requests, opt out where possible, and demand transparency from data collectors. At the same time, it challenges businesses to respect that control by being clear, accountable, and privacy-first in how they handle personal information.
As we celebrate this week of awareness and action, we also remind you of OTL Law & Nexa Advisory’s 12-part Data Protection & Privacy Knowledge Management Series. The Series, designed for individuals, startups, SMEs, fintechs, healthtechs, and advisors, provides clear, practical, and locally relevant guidance on data privacy compliance within Nigeria’s rapidly evolving digital ecosystem.
