The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective on May 25, 2018, and in response, Mauritius implemented the Data Protection Act 2017 (DPA) on January 15, 2018. The DPA replaced the previous Data Protection Act 2004 and was designed to strengthen data subject control and personal autonomy over their personal information, aligning with international standards such as the GDPR and the European Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data.
The DPA was created to address the challenges presented by technological advancements and other developments in data protection. It seeks to provide effective data protection provisions for Mauritius while aligning with international best practices. The term "personal data" is used interchangeably with "personal information" in this document, both of which refer to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
The DPA aims to protect the privacy rights of individuals, ensuring that their personal data is processed in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner. It also sets out the obligations of data controllers and processors, including requirements for obtaining consent, ensuring data accuracy, and implementing appropriate security measures.
Overall, the DPA represents a significant step forward for data protection in Mauritius, providing greater protection for individuals and aligning with global best practices.
