- Before processing personal data of a person in Belize, establish a lawful basis such as consent, a contract with the data subject, or a legal obligation, and process it fairly, transparently, and only for the specified purpose.
- Do not process sensitive personal data, including biometric data such as a voiceprint or faceprint, unless a listed condition applies, such as the data subject's consent or a deliberate act by the data subject making the information public.
- Give a data subject access to, and the ability to correct, erase, restrict, or port, their personal data on request.
- Do not base a decision solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces a legal or similarly significant effect on a person, unless a contract, an authorising enactment with safeguards, or the person's consent applies, and never for sensitive personal data outside the public interest.
- Stop processing a person's personal data for direct marketing once they object.
