Data protection & privacy laws in Dominica (2026)

Dominica has not passed a comprehensive data protection act nor sector-specific data privacy rules. Multiple tracking sources confirm no such legislation is in force as of early 2026.

Section 9 of the Constitution of Dominica provides fundamental rights protections for the privacy of a person's home and other property, representing the primary legal basis for privacy claims in the absence of a data protection statute.

The Electronic Evidence Act 2010 provides for the legal recognition and admissibility of electronic records in proceedings, offering indirect data integrity protections but not a personal data protection regime.

The Government of Dominica's web portal has a published Privacy and Copyright Notice governing personal information collected through official online platforms, but this is an administrative policy, not legislation.

In January 2022, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) launched an initiative to develop harmonized data protection laws across member states including Dominica, but as of 2026 no resulting statute has been enacted in Dominica.

Dominica has no designated data protection authority or commissioner. There is no regulatory body to receive complaints, conduct investigations, or enforce data protection obligations.
