What PDPC compliance means for your product
Tanzania's Personal Data Protection Act reshapes how products handle personal data. Here is what it requires — and how we build for it.
Insights
Compliance
Tanzania's Personal Data Protection Act established the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) and a framework for how organisations collect, store and process personal data. If your product touches Tanzanian users, it applies to you.
The essentials
- Lawful basis and consent for processing personal data
- Data subject rights — access, correction and erasure
- Security obligations and breach handling
- Care around cross-border data transfers
How we build for it
We treat compliance as architecture: minimal data collection, clear consent flows, encryption in transit and at rest, audit trails, and processing agreements that hold up for both PDPC and GDPR.
