The Egyptian Data Protection Law (Law No. 151 of 2020) aims to protect individual privacy by regulating the processing of personal data. It is designed to restore the right to privacy and align with international standards like the GDPR.
The Egyptian law is influenced by the GDPR and aims to provide similar levels of personal data protection, including regulations on data processing and rights to data access and correction.
Individuals have the right to access their data, request corrections, and obtain information on how their data is being used. They also have the right to object to data processing in certain circumstances.
Data controllers and processors must ensure the security of personal data, obtain consent from individuals before processing data, and comply with regulations on data transfer and storage.
Non-compliance can lead to significant fines and penalties, although specific amounts depend on the nature and severity of the breach. The law emphasizes both financial penalties and corrective measures.
Companies should conduct data protection impact assessments, appoint data protection officers where necessary, and implement adequate data protection policies and procedures to comply with the law.
