The New Monegasque Data Protection Law

The Principality of Monaco modernizes its data protection legislation with the adoption of Bill 1954 on November 28. Inspired by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this ambitious reform strengthens individual rights and increases corporate accountability.

Key Provisions of the Law

• Expanded Scope: The new law applies to the processing of personal data by data controllers or processors established in Monaco, as well as those located outside the Principality that process data of individuals within Monaco's territory.
• Strengthening Individual Rights: The rights of individuals are significantly enhanced, including the right to data portability, the right to erasure, and the right to restrict processing.
