Compliance Node Overview
The Republic of Kiribati is an independent sovereign nation in the central Pacific Ocean comprising 33 atolls across the Gilbert, Phoenix, and Line Islands. Kiribati achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1979 and is governed under the Constitution of Kiribati (1979), which establishes fundamental rights including the protection of personal privacy consistent with constitutional democratic traditions. Kiribati is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Pacific Islands Forum, and the United Nations. The Ministry of Information, Communications and Transport (MICT) oversees telecommunications and ICT regulation in Kiribati. Kiribati does not have a standalone comprehensive personal data protection law. The applicable framework for personal data protection consists of constitutional privacy rights, Pacific Islands Forum regional guidelines on cybersecurity and data protection, Commonwealth privacy principles, and common law privacy traditions inherited from the pre-independence legal system. Organisations processing personal data in Kiribati must respect constitutional privacy rights, implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access and disclosure, and limit collection and use of personal data to specified, legitimate purposes. As a Pacific Islands Forum member, Kiribati participates in regional frameworks for cybercrime prevention and digital governance.
