US Uganda Health Data Agreement x.com/i/spaces/1nKOL…

@FDPPUG This agreement should not have entered into in the first place for obvious reasons given our data protection legal framework and within the Spirit and letter of article 41 of our construction and the Access to information legislation. I await to be enjoined as a petitioner now.

Hey Friends,😊 @privacycentreea, in partnership with @Lawpointuganda and @TechnolegalUg, invites you to the second episode of the East African Data Protection & Privacy Webinar Series. ───────────── 🎓 From the moment you enrol in school to long after you graduate, education institutions hold some of your most personal data — academic records, disciplinary files, photographs, and more.

Join us as we unpack student data privacy across East Africa and draw on insights from a jurisdiction far ahead of the curve. ───────────── 🗓️ Date: Monday, 18 May 2026 ⏰ Time: 2:00 PM (EAT) 📍 Platform: Zoom — Free to attend ───────────── Topic: Student Data Privacy: Compliance for Schools, Universities and EdTech Who should attend? 🏫 School & university administrators ⚖️ Legal practitioners & compliance officers 🔐 Data Protection Officers (DPOs) 🎒 Students & student leaders 🖥️ EdTech professionals & teachers 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & guardians ──────────────── 🔗 Register (it's free): bit.ly/4uFihUZ 📲 Or scan the QR code on the flye

Data is growing. Protection isn’t. The Privacy Scorecard 2025 shows progress , but not enough. Overall performance improved to 46%, up from 40% in 2024, but still below the 50% benchmark for acceptable global standards. Progress is happening, but it remains slow and uneven across the continent. Now officially digital, the 5th Privacy Scorecard makes exploring the findings simpler and more engaging. 🔗bit.ly/4tsO0aW #PrivacyScorecard2025 #PrivacyScorecardReportAt5

#WemetonX #WemetonTwitter Not every online love story is real. Some scammers take advantage of trust and emotions to manipulate victims into sharing money, personal information, or sensitive content. Stay alert when interacting online. Verify identities, don't rush into emotional commitments, and think twice before sharing personal details. Protect your heart ❤️, Protect your data. #PersonalDataisPrivate #DataPrivacyUG

Under Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act, Cap. 97, health data is sensitive personal data. Cross-border transfers require a lawful basis and adequate safeguards. Does the MoU as signed meet that bar? And what remedies do Ugandan data subjects actually have?

USD 2.3bn. 5 years of funding. 25 years of data access. That's the US–Uganda Health MoU, signed 10 December 2025. No Parliamentary approval or public consultation or individual reliefs. We dig in live on Thursday 7 pm EAT. Join us 🧵

Today we launch the Forum for Data Protection Practitioners Uganda (FDPPU). A professional community committed to advancing privacy, compliance and responsible data governance in Uganda. #DataProtection #Privacy
