What Haiti CONATEL Framework - Constitutional Privacy Rights and Telecommunications Personal Data Obligations requires
Haiti's legal framework for personal data protection is grounded in the constitutional right to privacy established by the Haitian Constitution of 1987, which protects individuals from unreasonable interference with their private life, family, home, and correspondence, and provides for the inviolability of private communications. The Conseil National des Télécommunications (CONATEL), established under telecommunications legislation, is the national regulator for electronic communications and digital services in Haiti. CONATEL's regulatory framework establishes obligations for licensed telecommunications and electronic service operators to protect the confidentiality of subscriber personal data, to prevent unauthorised access to or disclosure of communications data, and to implement security measures proportionate to the risks of the personal data processed. Haiti does not have a standalone comprehensive data protection law, and the constitutional privacy framework, CONATEL's regulatory requirements, and the provisions of the Haitian Penal Code on invasion of privacy and interception of communications together constitute the primary legal framework for personal data protection in Haiti. CONATEL has authority to investigate complaints and enforce compliance with consumer data protection obligations in the telecommunications sector. Haiti is a member of CARICOM and the Ibero-American Data Protection Network (RIPD), and applies regional guidelines for data protection in digital services.
