What it requires

An app that collects, processes, uses, or secures the personal data of individuals in Mongolia, including via a technical device or software, must fall within the Law's scope and its exemptions before relying on any of them. A purely personal or household use, or using one's own biometric information to secure one's own property, is exempt; most commercial or app-based processing is not.

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 Law applies to persons, legal entities, and organizations without legal-entity status that collect, process, use, or secure personal information, including via technical devices and software.

It exempts purely personal or household-family processing that does not infringe the person's own privacy, placing recording devices to protect one's own property or the life or health of oneself or family members, using one's own biometric information for the same purpose, and information legally required to be made public. Arts. 6-8, the Act's general lawful-basis articles, are cross-referenced by Art. 9.2.1 and are not summarised here.
