DATA PROTECTION

Overview

The Data Protection laws have been launched within incredible speed in January 2018 in order to be compliant with the GDPR which was to come into force in May 2018. Since then, however, the Data Protection Office, (DPO) has been literally dormant, with no new regulations nor much enforcement activity. There are 5 heard cases in 2018, with none constituting a breach.

The mainstay of Data protection remains for us, the interaction between GDPR and the Mauritius Data Protection Act. We provide assistance mainly in the form of preventive support to corporations in their compliance efforts.
