NDPC Probes Optasia over Suspected Violation of Data Rights

The Commission in a statement released by Babatunde Bamigboye, head, Legal, Enforcement & Regulations noted with grave concern that Optasia deploys privacy invading technologies to process personal data for the purposes of marketing, credit scoring and other financial solutions.

The national commissioner “enjoins data controllers and data processors of major importance who rely on third parties as mediums through which the personal data of the Nigerian populace may be processed to ensure that such third parties are duly registered with the Commission.”
