Law; Rights of Data Subject.

The most important right every person has is the right to limit how much of their personal information is taken. This is by giving or refusing to give consent. However apart from this, there are other rights every one of us has a person with personal data (We are called Data subjects).

1. Access to your personal data

You have the right to ask to access any information you gave out to another person or organisation for example you can ask the any hospital with your medical information to let you have a copy and to see what ‘they have on you.’ Remember to provide proof of identity to before asking for this information.

You are entitled to this information immediately or within 30 days,

2. Prevent Processing of personal data.

When you give out personal data, the person you give it to can choose to organise it, alter how it is arranged and even erase some (these actions are known as processing). However you are entitled to tell him/her not to stop doing of this to your personal data if you believe it is likely to cause unjustified substantial damage or distress to you.

In addition, if you find out that there is an automated mode of processing of your personal data, you can ask that the decision to alter, organise or handle your information is revised and reconsidered.

Make sure you write to the people with your personal data to tell them to stop.

3. Stop use of personal data for marketing

If you do not want your personal data handled and used for marketing purposes, you have a right to prevent this.

If you have or attempt to enforce any of these rights and the person or entity with your personal data refuses to fulfil your request, then you still have a right to complain to NITA (the authority that regulates how your personal data is used) about your rights. As a result, you may be compensated for any damage or distress you suffer as a result of this violation.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
