The Data Protection Contract is essential for organizations operating in Nigeria that engage in the processing of personal data through third-party service providers or partners. This agreement has become particularly crucial following the enactment of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, which mandates specific contractual safeguards for data processing activities. The document is designed to ensure compliance with Nigerian data protection requirements while establishing clear responsibilities and obligations between data controllers and processors. It includes comprehensive provisions for data security, breach notification procedures, cross-border transfers, and data subject rights protection. Organizations should implement this contract whenever they outsource data processing activities or act as data processors for others, ensuring alignment with both local and international data protection standards.
