The 2022 privacy score card is a buildup on the Privacy Scorecard Report of November 2021 developed by Unwanted Witness. The 2021 Privacy Scorecard was a data protection compliance monitoring tool focusing on Ugandan data collectors.
Further, the 2022 Privacy Scorecard report develops onto the 2021 one and expands the scope to include Kenya. The methodology adopted in the 2022 report is deeper with focus on only three sectors of telecom- munication, financial services and the e-commerce sectors.The main objective of the 2022 report is to generate research that could be used to empower data collectors/processors to adopt data protection best practices; and citizens to demand for accountability in the area of personal data protection.
The scorecard evaluates corporate privacy policies and practices in 2022 against internationally accepted standards and national data protection laws. The 2022 report highlights the data protection performance of the three selected sectors of telecommunication, e-commerce and financial services in Kenya and Ugan- da. The assessment utilizes objective and quantifiable parameters for analyzing the policies and practices of the selected data collectors. The study assesses the publicly available policies of the selected companies to determine their compliance with applicable data protection legislation.
