Marangiro Nekukurumidza

Rondedzero Yezvinodikanwa Kubhizinesi

Masangano anoshanda muZimbabwe anorekodha chero rudzi rwekutaurirana anofanira kutora matanho anotevera.

Wana rezinesi yemutariri wedata. Kubvira 12 Kurume 2025, chero sangano rinoshandisa data yevanhu vanosvika makumi mashanu (50) kana kupfuura, kusanganisira kuburikidza nemarekodhi emafoni, mifananidzo yeCCTV, kana marekodhi emisangano, rinofanira kuve nerezinesi yePOTRAZ. Kushanda pasina iyo mhosva yepamutemo wehutongi ine marangiro anosvika makore manomwe mujeri.

Gadza Data Protection Officer. DPO anofanira kuve nemazivo ane hukama emutemo, data science, kana kuchengetedzeka kweruzivo, uye anofanira kupedza kudzidziswa kwecheki paHarare Institute of Technology. Kutadza kugadza DPO mushure me12 Zvita 2024 kune mhosva yakasiyana yepamutemo wehutongi.

Isa nzira dzekuzivisa nezvemarekodhi. Semunhu ari mukati mehurukuro, unogona kuirekodha pasi pemutemo wemvumo yemunhu mumwe chete. Kana sangano rako richirekodha mafoni kana misangano ine vamwe nenzira yakarongwa, vanhu ivavo vanofanira kuwana zivisano yakajeka yezvinorekodhwa, sei, uye marekodhi achashandiswa sei, kunyangwe mvumo yevanhu vese isingadikanwi nemutemo pachiito chekurekodha.

Teerera zvinodikanwa zvekutumira data kuyambuka miganho. Kana marekodhi achichengetwa pamasevha ecloud ari kunze kweZimbabwe, zivisa POTRAZ usati watanga kutumira uye simbisa kuti nyika inoendeswa inopa kudzivirira data kwakakwana.

Dzivisa kuparadzira kwemarekodhi. Chiito chekurekodha chinogona kunge chakabvumidzwa pasi pemvumo yemunhu mumwe chete; kuparadzira rekodhi yepabonde pasina mvumo yemunhu akarekodhwa kunogona kukonzeresa Section 164E yeCriminal Law Code (yakaiswa neCDPA), uye kuparadzira chero rekodhi kuti utambudze kana kunyadzisa mumwe munhu kunogona kukonzeresa Section 164B.

Masangano anowanzoparadzira zvirimo zvakarekodhwa kuburikidza nemapuratifomu epaindaneti anofanira kuongorora kana rezinesi ichidikanwa.

Tsanangura mitemo yekuchengeta nekudzima. Gadzira mitemo yakanyorwa inotaura kwenguva yakareba sei marekodhi achachengetwa uye simbisa kudzimwa nenzira yakarongwa pakupera penguva yega yega yekuchengeta.

Shuma kuputika kwedata nekukurumidza. Chero kuputika kune chekuita nemarekodhi kunofanira kushumwa kuPOTRAZ mukati meawa dzinosvika 24. Apo kuputika kunoisa njodzi huru kuvanhu, vanhu ivavo vanofanira kuzivswa mukati meawa dzinosvika 72.

Dzidzisa vashandi pamusoro penjodzi yepamutemo wehutongi. Vashandi vanobata marekodhi vanofanira kunzwisisa musiyano uri pakati pekurekodha kwakabvumidzwa nemunhu ari mukati (kwakabvumidzwa pasi pemvumo yemunhu mumwe chete), kuteererwa kwemunhu wechitatu pasina mvumo (kwakarambidzwa pasi peICA), uye uye kuparadzirwa kwemarekodhi pasina mvumo (kunogona kunge kwakarambidzwa pasi peSection 164E ne164B yeCriminal Law Code, sezvakagadziriswa neCDPA).
