Burundi does not have a law that specifically regulates personal data protection. However, several laws and regulations currently in force contain data protection provisions or impose confidentiality obligations on specific types of personal information. For example, employment, banking, telecommunications and health sector laws impose some data protection requirements. Such provisions generally require covered entities to maintain the confidentiality of personal information.
Some of these laws and ministerial orders include:
- LAW No 1/10 OF MARCH 16, 2022 ON THE PREVENTION AND REPRESSION OF CYBERCRIMINALITY IN BURUNDI
