ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the use of personal data (i.e. data processing) in multi-sided music platforms and the privacy protection legal framework that regulate such uses in South Africa and Nigeria. In doing this, the chapter focuses on South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act 2013 and the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation 2019. Both legislations comply with the minimum standards for data protection set by the OECD Privacy Protection Guidelines 2013. In considering the two legislations, the focus is on how personal data relating to copyright owners and uploaders as data subjects are being processed and whether the legislations help to ensure that the pertinent privacy rights of such data subjects are respected on multi-sided music platforms.
