Iran Electronic Commerce Law (2003), Personal Data Chapter

An app that stores, processes, or distributes data revealing a Iranian resident's tribal or ethnic origin, religious or moral belief, ethical characteristics, or physical, psychological, or sexual condition needs their explicit consent first. Any other collection or processing of personal data needs consent for a specified, described purpose, must be limited to that purpose, must stay accurate, and must let the person access their own data with a right to have it corrected or completely removed. The law names no biometric category, so a voiceprint or faceprint is not subject to a heightened consent, retention, or destruction standard beyond the general consent-based rule, and nothing in this chapter conditions moving personal data out of Iran or requires notifying anyone after a security incident. Violating Article 58's sensitive-data consent rule is a criminal offense (one to three years' imprisonment), state-prosecuted rather than privately actionable.
