Google to Register in Uganda After Dropping Court Battle
Google has decided to comply with Ugandan regulations and register as a “data controller” in the country, marking a significant shift in its operational approach. This decision comes after the tech giant withdrew its appeal against a ruling by Uganda’s Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO). The move signals Google’s acceptance of the obligations outlined in the initial 2025 verdict.
Complying with Data Protection Regulations
Google’s move to register in Uganda reflects a broader trend of multinational tech companies adapting to evolving data privacy regulations in Africa. By complying with the PDPO’s requirements, Google sets a precedent for other international organizations operating in the region, emphasizing the importance of respecting local data protection frameworks.
