Law 2017-28 on Personal Data Protection (amended 2022)
2017 · In force
A 2017 law amended in 2022 with the HAPDP as authority; political instability has slowed institutional practice.
Marketing and advertising
Consent-first framework. In practice that means consent before tracking or marketing outreach, documented well enough to show a regulator.
