The Law is modeled to a large extent on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (<abbr title=\"General Data Protection Regulation\">GDPR<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entry into Force<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Law will enter into force three (3) months after the issuance date, i.e., on 16 October 2020, and it provides for one (1) year grace period for addressees to comply with its rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is personal data?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal data is broadly defined as the information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (or the \u2018data subject\u2019). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, or is identifiable, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, a picture, a voice, an identification number, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the identity of that natural person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is noted here that the Law expressly states it includes online identifiers such as cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exclusions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The following data falls outside the scope of the Data Protection Law:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Data held by natural persons for others and for personal use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data processed for official statistics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data processed for media purposes subject to media laws and regulations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data related to judicial reports, investigations and claims.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data in possession of the Presidency, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Interior, General Intelligence, and the Administrative Control Authority.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data in possession of the Central Bank of Egypt and banks subject to data protection rules under the banking laws and regulations..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is information about legal entities personal data?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>No, however, information about sole traders or partnerships may be considered personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scope of Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who does the Law Apply to?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Law applies to all personal data \u2018<strong>controllers<\/strong>\u2019 and \u2018<strong>processors<\/strong>\u2019.<br><strong>Who is a controller?<\/strong> A \u2018controller\u2019 means the natural or legal person which due to the nature of its work has the right to obtain personal data and determine the means, purposes and criteria of keeping, processing and controlling them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is a processor?<\/strong> A \u2018processor\u2019 is any natural or legal person that process personal data for its own benefit or on behalf of a controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term \u2018processing\u2019 is defined broadly under the Law to include anything that is done to, or with, personal data (including simply writing, collecting, recording, storing or deleting those data). This definition is significant because it clarifies the fact that the Law is likely to apply wherever an organisation does anything that involves or affects personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><u><em>It is likely that all organisations processing personal data (even if only in relation to their own employees) will do so as either a controller or a processor. Therefore, all organisations are advised to start identifying the scenarios in which they act as a controller or a processor, understand the obligations of each role, and deploy a plan to comply with these obligations within the one year grace period provided under the Law.<\/em><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extra-Territorial Application<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Law applies extraterritorially on crimes committed by Egyptians and Non-Egyptians outside Egypt in respect to personal data related to Egyptians or non-Egyptians residing in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Systems to which the Law applies<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Law applies only to personal data that are electronically processed in full or in part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regulator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Law provides that a pubic economic authority will be established to be responsible for personal data protection and the supervision and enforcement of the Data Protection Law. This authority is named the \u2018Personal Data Protection Centre\u2019 (\u201c<strong>Center<\/strong>\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Center is affiliated to the Minister of Communications and Information Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a comprehensive list of tasks and competencies given to the Center by virtue of Article 19 of the Law. Among these tasks is to promote awareness among the public, controllers and processors, to encourage the development of Codes of Conduct, issue licenses and permits, and to advise the government and parliament on the proposed relevant laws and international treaties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Principles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All collection and processing of personal data must comply with all four general data quality principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lawfulness and Transparency<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal data must be collected for specific, explicit and lawful purposes and in transparent manner in relation to the data subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to be lawful, processing of personal data must satisfy at least one of the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>be carried out with the consent of the data subject for specific purpose(s);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject or the initiation of a claim thereby;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be necessary for compliance with a legal or judicial obligation; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be necessary for the controller\u2019s or recipient\u2019s legitimate interests, except where overridden by the fundamental rights and freedom of the data subject.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data Minimisation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal Data must be adequate, relevant, secured and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose for which they are processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage Limitation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal data should be kept for no longer than necessary for the purpose for which they are processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrity and confidentiality<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal data must be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Individual Rights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Collection, processing or disclosure of personal data is not allowed unless after obtaining the consent of the data subject.
