- An app storing or processing the personal data of individuals in Tajikistan, including a voiceprint or other biometric identifier, must by default keep the database exclusively inside Tajikistan, unless it has an arrangement agreed with the authorized state body for personal data protection. Transferring that data abroad separately requires the subject's consent, a ratified treaty, statutory necessity, or protection of constitutional rights where consent cannot be obtained.
