dc.description.abstractMany civilizations have relied on data collecting and usage throughout history. As time progressed, so did the techniques for data gathering, storage, and sharing. The reason behind this achievement being computers and the Internet. Today, data is one of the most lucrative commodities on earth. Not only does data promote innovation, but also productivity, efficiency, and growth in the global economy. ‘Big data’ is the accumulated large volume of information that has the potential to be mined for information and used. One of the biggest data collectors in the world today is the telecom sector. Telecommunications companies can acquire much more data as mobile phone usage grows. Due to the ease of collecting data directly or indirectly from data subjects, the laws governing the same should be as specific as possible. This study will look at the ambiguity of the phrase "interests" as used in the Data Protection Act. Addressing this gap will benefit lawmakers who are developing measures to fill the gaps that have stemmed from the Data Protection Act. Moreover, it is important for telecom firms to understand the importance of valuing data protection.
