SafeBoda unlawfully shared clients’ data with a US company, according to an investigation by National Information Technology Authority – Uganda (NITA-U). The boda boda ride app, according to NITA-U, withheld information from customers that it was sharing their data with CleverTap, a US-based data processor. This, NITA-U said in an investigation, contravenes data protection law and the laws of Uganda. The investigation report, authored by NITA-U into allegations of unlawful sharing of SafeBoda customer personal data by Guinness Transporters, which trades as SafeBoda, found that the transport company failed to disclose third party recipients of customer information. “The SafeBoda privacy policy and data protection policy versions of 2017 and 2019 respectively did not provide information on recipients with whom its users’ personal data will be shared,” the report reads in part.
