Namibia recognises privacy as a constitutional right and its Access to Information Act, 2022 contains a broad definition of personal information.

This policy is therefore drafted to follow generally accepted privacy principles, including transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, security, accountability and respect for individual rights.
