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...

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...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly. After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever. Can ...
