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

In force since 1 October 2019.

A sensitive categories rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 29 August 2026.

What it requires

An app processing an Uzbek data subject's racial, social-origin, political, religious, ideological, trade-union, health, private-life, or criminal-record data must have the subject's written consent, rely on a state-security purpose, or rely on data the subject has already published in publicly available sources; such processing is prohibited by default otherwise.

What this law does

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

Art. 25 prohibits processing special personal data by default: racial or social origin, political, religious, or ideological beliefs, political-party or trade-union membership, physical or mental health, private life, and criminal record.

Processing is permitted only for state-security purposes by the authorized state body, on the subject's written or electronic consent, or where the subject has already published the special data in publicly available sources; this is a distinct track from Art. 26's biometric and genetic data, not a category that folds biometric data into it.
