What this law does

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

Armenia's Law on Protection of Personal Data, Law No. HO-49-N, took effect 1 July 2015 (Art. 28), replacing a 2002-era law on the same date. Secondary sources give the adoption date as 18 May or 8 May 2015; only the confirmed in-force date is recorded.

General principles at Arts. 4-8 cover legality, proportionality, accuracy, minimal subject involvement, and lawfulness-of-processing grounds, across 29 articles total, considerably shorter and less elaborated than several of this jurisdiction's regional peers.
