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

In force since 18 September 2018.

A data subject rights rule binding government bodies.

As of 29 August 2026.

What it requires

Nepal's Privacy Act gives a person a right to apply to a public body to correct wrong or unfounded information about them, including biometric information, but this correction right runs against public bodies specifically; no equivalent access, erasure, or correction right against a private body corporate was found.

What this law does

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

Section 28 is the sole rights-like provision located: a right to apply to the concerned public body to correct information the person believes is wrong or not fact-based, with the public body deciding after inquiry whether to correct it. The right does not run against a private body corporate on its face. No express right of access, erasure, portability, or objection was found anywhere in the sections read, a materially thinner rights catalog than this batch's other South Asian jurisdictions.
