Tanzania Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 — in force

Compliance you can actually finish — and prove.

DataGuard turns Tanzania’s Personal Data Protection Act into plain-language questions, a clear picture of your gaps, and the tasks and evidence to close them — so any team can run a real programme, not just lawyers.

Built for NGOs, clinics, SACCOs, schools and businesses — and the consultants who serve them.

Why this matters now

The law is here. The question is whether you can show it.

The Act is no longer coming — it applies to every organisation that holds personal data. The gap between “we think we’re fine” and “we can prove it” is exactly what costs organisations money and trust.

It applies to you already

Collect names, phone numbers, patient files, member records or staff data? You have duties under the Act — and data controllers and processors are expected to register and comply.

You may be asked to prove it

The Personal Data Protection Commission oversees the Act. If a complaint or query lands, “we meant to” is not an answer — a dated record of what you assessed and fixed is.

A breach costs more than a plan

One incident or complaint — the penalty, the legal time, the lost trust of the people you serve — outweighs a year of DataGuard many times over. Prevention is the cheap option.

DataGuard maps the Act into practical controls and tracks your work. It supports compliance management; it does not provide legal advice or certify legal compliance.

Two ways to buy

Same outcome. Your choice of convenience or control.

Some teams want compliance simply handled. Others need their data to stay inside their own walls. DataGuard is sold both ways — pick the one that fits how you work.
