Compliance Node Overview
Dominica enacted the Data Protection Act 2018, a comprehensive statute aligned with CARICOM and OECS data protection standards. The Act is administered by the Data Protection Commissioner and establishes principles governing the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal data. Data subjects have rights of access and correction. Sensitive personal information categories (health, political opinions, religious beliefs, racial origin, criminal history) are subject to heightened protection and explicit consent requirements. Cross-border transfers require adequate protection or appropriate safeguards. The Act applies to controllers established in Dominica and those processing personal data of persons in Dominica.
