The Cayman Islands' Data Protection Law is currently due to
come into force on 30 September 2019.
In line with many jurisdictions around the world, the Cayman
Islands will soon introduce a law to protect individuals'
personal data.
The Data Protection Law, 2017 (the "DPL") is currently
due to come into force on 30 September 2019.
In summary, any entity established in the Cayman Islands that
handles any individual's personal information has certain
obligations with respect to that information. These include
ensuring that any such individual is formally apprised of what any
of their personal data is being used for, and by whom. The entity
is also responsible for personal information processed on its
behalf by a third party processor and for such purposes is obliged
to have a written contract with relevant service providers.
