The Electronic Communication Consent Form is essential for businesses operating in Nigeria that wish to communicate with their customers or clients through electronic means. This document has become increasingly important following the implementation of the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019 and various cybersecurity laws. The form serves as a legal record of consent, protecting both the sender and recipient of electronic communications. It typically includes details about the types of electronic communications to be sent, technical requirements for receiving them, privacy protections, and the right to withdraw consent. Organizations must maintain these consent records to demonstrate compliance with Nigerian regulations and to establish a clear framework for electronic communication with their stakeholders.
