Law No. 2023-31 of 4 July 2023 amending Law No. 2022-59 on Personal Data Protection (Niger)
ne-law-2023-31 · Act
Law No. 2023-31 of 4 July 2023 is an amending statute modifying Niger's current primary data protection law, Law No. 2022-59 of 16 December 2022 on the protection of personal data. The 2022 law had itself replaced an earlier framework (Law No. 2017-28, as amended in 2019), and the 2023 amendment forms part of an unusually active legislative pipeline for the jurisdiction, Law No. 2022-59 has also been further modified by Ordinances Nos. 2024-16 of 26 April 2024 and 2024-29 of 24 June 2024. This instrument is recorded to capture Niger's legislative history accurately and to reflect that the consolidated current text of the data protection framework depends on reading Law No. 2022-59 together with this 2023 amendment (and the 2024 ordinances). The precise substantive changes introduced by Law No. 2023-31 are not detailed in ATLPF's existing records and should be confirmed against the primary text; the amendment is recorded here so that the legislative chain is visible rather than buried within the primary law's notes. The Haute Autorité de la Protection des Données à Caractère Personnel (HAPDP), operational since August 2020, remains Niger's supervisory authority across these instruments. This entry was created during a June 2026 documentation pass and relies on analysis already held in ATLPF's Niger records. Reviewer should obtain the primary text of Law No. 2023-31 (and the 2024 ordinances), confirm the substantive amendments, and add primary-source URLs. Source language: French.
