What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Art. 24 creates an independent Authorized Body for Personal Data Protection, structured by government resolution, with powers to audit compliance, apply administrative-liability measures established by law, demand suspension or cessation of unlawful processing, demand rectification, blocking, or destruction, block processing following review of a pre-processing notification, maintain a processor registry, certify adequate-security electronic systems, inspect devices and documents, apply to court, investigate individual complaints, publish an annual public report, and provide guidance.

No compensation or damages term was found anywhere in the Act; specific fine amounts live in the separate RA Code on Administrative Offences, which is not covered here, so no figures are stated. Individual recourse runs through the Art. 17 appeal right or the authority's own court-application power, not a dedicated statutory civil-damages provision inside this Act; general Civil Code tort provisions might independently support a damages claim but are not addressed here.
