Lawyer, Chukwuemeka Cameron says it will take companies nearly a year or more to bring themselves into compliance with new data protection laws. The Data Protection Act, which became law in May 2020, will apply to anyone collecting the personal data of individuals. Individuals and entities have up to November 2023 to become compliant, but Cameron is advocating that they begin the process now, saying that from his experience it would take an organisation no less than 10 months to get ready. The DPA seeks to safeguard the privacy and personal information of Jamaicans.
