Egypt’s Data Protection Law Sets Framework for Centre’s Licensing Powers

Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020 defines the types of licences, permits and accreditations issued by the Personal Data Protection Centre.

The provisions establish the centre’s authority to issue these approvals under the country’s personal data protection framework.

The law distinguishes between licences, permits and accreditations, identifying them as separate categories of approvals within the centre’s remit.

The supplied summary does not detail the individual authorisations, their eligibility requirements or the procedures for obtaining them. It also does not report any newly issued approvals.
