ACTUM will generally not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected. Uganda’s data protection framework requires personal data to be collected for specified and legitimate purposes and processed lawfully, fairly and transparently.

Where applicable, ACTUM will process personal data on an appropriate lawful basis, which may include:

  • Your consent;
  • The performance of a contract or provision of a service;
  • Compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation;
  • Protection of legitimate interests;
  • Performance of a function or activity authorised by law; or
  • Other lawful grounds provided under applicable legislation.

Where consent is required, ACTUM will seek consent in a manner that is freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous.

ACTUM does not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

  • Professional or regulatory bodies where required;
  • Government agencies and authorities where legally required;
  • Event, training or programme partners where necessary to provide the relevant service; and
  • Other parties where you have provided appropriate consent or where disclosure is otherwise permitted or required by law.

Where ACTUM engages third-party data processors, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that they handle personal data in accordance with applicable data protection requirements. The PDPO notes that organisations should use data processors that provide appropriate guarantees for protecting the integrity and confidentiality of personal data.

ACTUM takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorised access;
  • Unauthorised disclosure;
  • Loss or destruction;
  • Alteration;
  • Misuse; and
  • Other forms of unlawful processing.

Access to personal information is restricted to authorised persons who require it for legitimate institutional purposes.

However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

ACTUM will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including fulfilling legal, regulatory, accounting, administrative or reporting requirements.

Where personal information is no longer required, ACTUM will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or anonymise it, subject to applicable legal and institutional retention requirements.

Subject to applicable law and any relevant limitations, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

  • Be informed about the collection and use of your personal information;
  • Request access to personal information held about you;
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • Request deletion or erasure of personal information where legally applicable;
  • Object to certain forms of processing;
    Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
  • Raise a complaint concerning the handling of your personal information.

Uganda’s Personal Data Protection Office recognises, among other matters, individuals’ rights concerning information about them, access, correction and erasure.
