Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act 2019 seeks to protect Uganda’s citizens and their personal data by outlining and implementing rules for processing personal data and sensitive personal data by entities within or outside the country.

The Data Protection and Privacy Act 2019 applies to both public and private entities.
The Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019, came into effect on 1st March 2019.
