What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.

In force since 1 May 2022.

An enforcement supervision rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 29 August 2026.

What it requires

An app processing Mongolian personal data may be investigated by a designated National Human Rights Commission member or the state digital-development and communications body, and a person may complain to either, with a further court appeal available. Fines and criminal penalties sit in the separate Law on Violations and Criminal Law, neither of which is confirmed here; a general damages-and-rights-protection remedy exists at Art. 16.2, though it is not framed as a dedicated statutory cause of action.

What this law does

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

Oversight is split between two institutions. A designated member of the National Human Rights Commission (Art. 24.2) is specially responsible for information-protection activity, violations, and implementation of owner rights; the state digital-development and communications body (Art. 25) separately implements the Law, approves security requirements for sensitive, genetic, and biometric information processing, and receives breach notifications.

Art. 26 gives other state bodies continuing oversight within their existing competencies. Art. 28, read in extract, lets a complaint go to the competent authority or the National Human Rights Commission, with a further court appeal available. Art. 30, read in full, defers penalties to the Public Service Law or Labor Law for officials, and to the Criminal Law or the Law on Violations for persons and legal entities, none of which was read. No standalone private right of action distinct from Art. 16.2's damages-and-rights-protection clause was found.
