Compliance Node Overview
Belize enacted the Data Protection Act 2021, establishing a comprehensive data protection framework for the country. The Act is administered by the Data Protection Commissioner of Belize and establishes principles for the lawful processing of personal data by public and private bodies. Data subjects are granted rights of access, correction, and objection to processing. Controllers must identify a lawful basis for processing, issue privacy notices, implement appropriate security measures, and restrict cross-border transfers to jurisdictions providing adequate protection. The Act aligns with CARICOM data protection standards, bringing Belize into line with other Caribbean Community member states that have enacted comprehensive data protection legislation.
