What this law does

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

The State Audit Office, in its personal-data-protection function (administratively headed by the Head of the Personal Data Protection Service under Art. 88's transitional provisions), is Georgia's supervisory authority, a distinctive institutional choice housing the DPA inside the state audit body rather than a standalone commission.

Administrative penalties (Arts. 66-79) are flat sums rather than a percentage-of-turnover model; Art. 66, for a violation of processing principles, sets GEL 1,000 to 4,000 depending on entity type, turnover, and aggravating circumstances.

No private-right-of-action or civil-compensation provision was found within this Act itself; enforcement reads as regulator-only through the State Audit Office's administrative-penalty powers, though general Georgian civil or tort law may separately provide a damages route outside this Act, which is not addressed here.
