Algeria: the data protection authority (ANPDP) launches its website 

On 30 January 2023, the National Authority for Protection of Personal Data (ANPDP) officially launched its website. 

When announcing the official launch of the website, Lotfi Boudjemaa, Chairman of the ANPDP, said that the first stage, from January to August 2023, was intended to raise awareness and inform data subjects and data controllers of their rights and obligations. To this end, they will be able to familiarise themselves with the content of the law on the protection of individuals with regard to personal data, which defines the rights and sanctions provided for in the event of a breach of information.  

In the second stage, the authority announced that it would include all forms relating to processing, in accordance with the provisions of this law.

The Chairman went on to say that “the launch of this website will enable direct contact between individuals and public and private bodies involved in the authority’s work”.
