Le innovazioni tecnologiche, i loro diversi utilizzi e l'uso diffuso dei social media sono progrediti rapidamente, sia a livello globale che sul posto di lavoro, dove i dati dei dipendenti e dei clienti vengono costantemente raccolti digitalmente. Sulla base di un'analisi critica della legislazione, della giurisprudenza e della dottrina, l'Articolo esamina lo stato attuale della protezione dei dati nel contesto lavorativo in Tanzania. L'articolo discute le implicazioni della nuova legislazione sul trattamento dei dati in Tanzania, con particolare attenzione al diritto alla privacy e alla protezione dei dati e alle questioni relative al monitoraggio dei dipendenti. Poiché i datori di lavoro raccolgono grandi quantità di dati dei lavoratori, il settore dell'occupazione è una delle numerose aree che in Tanzania sono influenzate dal PDPA, 2022. In conformità con il PDPA, i datori di lavoro hanno la responsabilità di proteggere i dati dei dipendenti in qualità di responsabili del trattamento dei dati personali sensibili. L'Articolo conclude affermando che la tutela della privacy dei lavoratori in Tanzania potrebbe beneficiare del contributo un documento di guida e orientamento in merito alle modalità di protezione dei dati dei lavoratori (similmente a quanto avvenuto in EU con il parere W29 sulla protezione dei dati personali dei dipendenti).
