🇬🇭 DATA PROTECTION EDUCATION: DAY 7
🔎YOUR DATA. YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW.
A shop asks for your phone number.
A school collects your child's details.
A business requests your information to provide a service.
But are you told WHY your information is needed?
Under Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), you have the right to be informed about the collection and processing of your personal data.
You should be made aware of relevant details, including:
✅ Why your data is being collected.
✅ Who is responsible for collecting it.
✅ Who may receive your information.
✅ Whether providing the information is mandatory or optional.
Your personal data is not just a collection of details. You deserve transparency about how it is handled.
📢 Before you provide your data, know why it's needed!
