ABSTRACT The ability of the Tanzanian government to carry out systematic access to personal data held by private sector entities has significantly expanded in the last ten years. This is due to adoption of new legislation as well as amendment of existing ones with the view of giving law enforcement and intelligence agencies enormous powers to access private sector data without authorisation of an independent oversight institution such as court. Also, this development is due to the government ever increasing use of modern technologies to ease access of data as demonstrated by the recent acquisition of Telecommunications Traffic Monitoring System which has the capabilities of intercepting communication data as well as content of such communication. The aim of this article is to analyse laws and practices of systematic government access to private sector data in Tanzania and suggest areas where law reforms are necessary.

分析坦桑尼亚政府系统获取私营部门数据的制度

摘要 在过去十年中，坦桑尼亚政府对私营部门实体持有的个人数据进行系统访问的能力显着增强。这是由于通过了新立法以及对现有立法的修订，目的是赋予执法和情报机构巨大的权力，可以在未经法院等独立监督机构授权的情况下访问私营部门数据。此外，这一发展是由于政府越来越多地使用现代技术来简化数据的访问，正如最近收购的电信流量监控系统所证明的那样，该系统具有拦截通信数据以及此类通信内容的能力。
