What We Do

Making Privacy Real

Many companies ignore the stringent privacy laws. This is possible, because it is too complicated and expensive for individual users to claim their rights. We close the gap between law and the reality by collectively enforcing your rights, so that your rights become reality.

Making Privacy Real

Strategic and Effective Enforcement

We pursue strategic and effective enforcement by thoroughly analyzing and prioritizing privacy violations, identifying the legal weak spots of these cases and litigating them with the best possible strategy to achieve maximum impact.

Focus on Commercial Privacy

We focus on commercial privacy and data protection violations, because they are wide-spread, frequent and affect millions of people. These corporate violations of your privacy and your digital rights are currently not being addressed by other organizations.

we feel a structural gap in private sector privacy enforcement. We actively cooperate with existing NGOs and groups in the fields of privacy, IT security and consumer protection.

Why Features

Why We Do What We Do

We challenge corporate data exploitation because we want a world where people can control information about them. This will prevent companies from innovating further on surveillance capitalism and personal data exploitation. 

Since its inception, PDPAI has been working to advocate data protection law in Nigeria and Africa by: raising awareness of data protection and cybersecurity threats, particularly by big tech corporations; monitoring and reporting non-compliance of organisations to data protection principles, and seeking ways through technology to protect personal information.
