NDPC National Commissioner and CEO, Dr. Vincent Olatunji, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the data processing activities of Optasia which operates in Nigeria as Nairtime Nigeria Ltd, Techeconomy can report.

This investigation was triggered by a pattern of suspected non-compliant data processing which was discovered during routine regulatory oversight of data controllers and data processors of major importance, a statement by Babatundeย  Bamigboye, head, Legal, Enforcement & Regulations at NDPC, explained.

The statement further reads:

โ€œThe Commission notes with grave concern that Optasia deploys privacy invading technologies to process personal data for the purposes of marketing, credit scoring and other financial solutions.

โ€œThe investigation of credit scoring activities covers the way financial institutions, telecommunication companies, insurance companies among others process personal data of citizens for various purposes.

โ€œThe National Commissioner enjoins data controllers and data processors of major importance who rely on third parties as mediums through which the personal data of the Nigerian populace may be processed to ensure that such third parties are duly registered with the Commission.

โ€œThis measure will ensure accountability, strengthen data security architecture and protect Nigeriaโ€™s data sovereignty.
