Chad
Central Africa
Chad has a comprehensive data protection law. Law No. 007/PR/2015 establishes a framework covering the collection, processing, transmission, and storage of personal data, requiring lawful, fair, and non-fraudulent processing for explicit, specific, and legitimate purposes, and granting data subjects rights to information, correction, deletion, and objection on legitimate grounds. It is now recorded in ATLPF's Instruments database (AI-draft). The supervisory function is housed in the Agence Nationale de Sécurité Informatique et de Certification Électronique (ANSICE), established by the companion Law No. 006/PR/2015 and operational from 2020, now recorded in ATLPF's Regulators database. Penalties range from CFA 1 million to 10 million and imprisonment of three months to one year. With the law and a named, operational authority now documented, Chad is scored in line with comparable single-instrument jurisdictions. The records are AI-drafted from a June 2026 verification search and await confirmation against the official French text.

Enacted 1 Jan 2015
ANSICE is primarily an IT-security and electronic-certification body, so the strength of its dedicated data protection enforcement is uncertain. The exact 2015 enactment date, cross-border transfer and sensitive-data provisions, and any later amendments are AI-drafted and await confirmation against the official text.
