What Democratic Republic of Congo Law No. 20/017 on Electronic Communications - Personal Data Provisions requires
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) enacted Law No. 20/017 of 25 November 2020 on Electronic Communications and Information Technology, which includes provisions regulating the protection of personal data in the electronic communications sector. Administered by the Autorité de Régulation des Postes et Télécommunications du Congo (ARPTC), the law requires electronic service providers to implement technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data, obtain user consent for collection and processing, ensure data confidentiality, and restrict access to personal data to authorised personnel. The DRC is developing a standalone data protection law; this instrument represents the primary operative framework pending that enactment.
