Which Tanzanian law governs the protection of personal data?
The Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 (Act No. 11 of 2022) is the framework statute governing the protection of personal data in Tanzania. It establishes the Personal Data Protection Commission and sets out the obligations of data controllers and processors; it was published in the Gazette of the United Republic of Tanzania and is maintained in the revised Laws of Tanzania.

One Tanzanian legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Tanzanian laws, regulations, court decisions, regulatory guidance, and enforcement materials through a REST API. Use structured metadata, full text, Markdown, source links, and version history to power legaltech products, compliance workflows, and internal research tools. Tanzania coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=TZ&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Tanzanian legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Tanzanian materials — deployable in minutes, with no integration work, once coverage is live.
AI Agent Integration

Why Lawstronaut for Tanzanian legal research
Tanzanian legal information is spread across the Government Gazette, the revised Laws of Tanzania, Parliament, ministries, regulators, and the courts — and is complicated further by the union structure, in which Zanzibar retains its own legislation and courts for non-union matters. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Tanzania legal coverage
Tanzania is a common-law jurisdiction rooted in the English legal tradition, layered over statutory law and, in defined areas, customary and Islamic law for personal matters. It is a union of mainland Tanganyika and Zanzibar formed in 1964: the United Republic operates under the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, 1977, while Zanzibar retains its own constitution, legislature, and courts for non-union matters. Primary legislation is enacted by Parliament (the Bunge), published in the Gazette of the United Republic of Tanzania, and consolidated in the revised Laws of Tanzania maintained by the Attorney General's Chambers. The court hierarchy runs from subordinate courts (Primary, District, and Resident Magistrates' Courts) through the High Court of Tanzania to the Court of Appeal of Tanzania as the apex court. Legislation and court materials are published in Swahili and English, with Swahili increasingly used for statutes.
Tanzanian law changes frequently: the Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 introduced a national data protection regime under a new Personal Data Protection Commission, near-annual Written Laws (Miscellaneous Amendments) Acts revise statutes across sectors, and reforms to investment, mining, and natural-resources law have reshaped the commercial framework — so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Tanzania legal research answer correct today.
