Togo: National Data Protection Authority Launches

(Togo First) - The Personal Data Protection Authority (IPDCP) of Togo officially launched on March 28, 2025. Various representatives from the government and public agencies, as well as media workers, attended the launching ceremony in Lomé, the capital.

"The role of the IPDCP is essential in building a digital space of trust, where citizens, businesses, and institutions can evolve serenely, in complete security," said Bédiani Béléi, Chairman of the IPDCP. He also pledged that the authority would "ensure that information and communication technologies do not threaten individual freedoms and privacy."

The IPDCP has rolled out a public awareness campaign starting April 1. The campaign aims to inform Togolese citizens about their rights and the mechanisms available to protect their personal data from exploitation.
