What this law does

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

Guinea's cybersecurity and personal data protection statute, Loi n° L/2016/037/AN, extends its personal data protection provisions to the processing of personal data by a private individual, a business, or a public institution. The statute states an objective of protecting personal data in keeping with Guinea's international commitments. The statute was adopted by the National Assembly and promulgated by President Alpha Condé.

ANSSI's own description of the statute states only its scope and objectives for the data protection title, and separately lists offences and penalties that belong to the statute's cybersecurity title rather than the data protection title, so no lawful basis rule, sensitive category or biometric restriction, data subject right, cross border transfer condition, breach notification duty, or supervisory authority for personal data is stated, and no commencement date is stated for the statute.
