Compliance Node Overview
Saint Barthélemy is a French overseas collectivity located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. Saint Barthélemy was part of Guadeloupe until 2007 when it became a separate French collectivity. Unlike Guadeloupe and Martinique (which are EU outermost regions where GDPR applies directly) and unlike Saint Martin (also an EU outermost region), Saint Barthélemy was reclassified as an EU Overseas Country and Territory (OCT) in 2012. As an EU OCT rather than an EU outermost region, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not apply directly in Saint Barthélemy. The applicable data protection framework is the French Loi Informatique et Libertés (Law on Information Technology and Civil Liberties), which applies in Saint Barthélemy by extension of French sovereignty law. The Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) exercises jurisdiction as the supervisory authority for data protection matters in Saint Barthélemy. The Collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy administers the territory. Saint Barthélemy is notable for its high-end tourism economy and significant international business activity, making data protection compliance particularly relevant for hospitality, financial services, and international commerce operating in the territory. Organisations processing personal data of individuals in Saint Barthélemy must comply with the Loi Informatique et Libertés as applicable in French overseas collectivities, implement appropriate security measures, and respect individual rights of access and rectification.
