Privacy and Consumer Protection

Build trust and spark growth

A drive towards privacy and data protection programme to meet the expectation of your consumers and regulators.

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is in effect since 25 May 2018, generating challenges for every organisation doing business in or outside the EU. It is among one of the highest standards of data protection in the world, giving rise to a consistent, global and unified legal basis for data protection and enforcement across the Member States.

The magnitude of this regulation resulted in the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017 (DPA) to be revised and aligned to match the requirements of the EU GDPR. This is intended to regulate the processing and safeguarding of personal data thereby giving individuals greater control over their personal data.
