On 1 July 2024, the Ministry of Public Security issued the draft Law on Data (“Draft Law“) for public consultation.
The State acknowledges that there are currently 69 laws that regulate data and databases (including national databases and specialised databases) or which contain regulations related to data (e.g. Law on Electronic Transactions, Law on Cybersecurity, Law on Network Information Security and Law on Information Technology). It is for this reason that the State saw the need to develop a consolidated law to regulate all types of data, including personal data.
This Update provides a high-level summary of the key provisions provided in the Draft Law.
