The framework

Iran has no comprehensive data protection law in force yet.

Absent a local rule, the practical constraints come from platform policies and foreign laws with extraterritorial reach.

Marketing and advertising

No comprehensive consent requirement; e-commerce law imposes narrow duties on online sellers. With no operative local consent rule, the practical guardrails are platform policy and any foreign law that can reach the campaign.

Cross-border transfers

Cross-border data flows run through a state-controlled network environment.

Enforcement and penalties

Only sector-specific penalties apply.
