Ghana Data Protection Act 2012 establishes a comprehensive set of provisions governing the collection, processing, use, and protection of personal data by the data controller or data processor. Ghana’s DPA 2012 applies to organizations that process Ghana’s residents’ personal data across the region and beyond.

The Data Protection Act, 2012, came into effect in October 2012.
