Gambia

Name: Gambia
Address: GM

The Gambia enacted a Personal Data Protection and Privacy Act in 2025, with the Information Commission as regulator, and no data centre was found.

TechHive Advisory reports the Personal Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2025, with the Information Commission set up under the Access to Information Act 2021 as regulator and adequacy or safeguard-based transfer rules. The National Assembly site hosts the earlier Data Protection and Privacy Bill, 2024, which would add a data protection commissioner to the Commission and let it prohibit or suspend transfers. The Act's assent date and the relationship between bill and Act text were not confirmed. We found no data centre or grid information.

Rules and programmes

Rules and programmes
Instrument	Kind	Status	What it does
Personal Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2025 Read the cited source	Law	In force	Reported. TechHive Advisory review. It names the Information Commission as regulator with investigation powers, describes transfers to jurisdictions with adequate protection or with safeguards, and states no explicit localisation requirement. The exact assent date was not given, and we did not read the Act text.
Data Protection and Privacy Bill, 2024 Read the cited source	Law	Proposed	Primary. Bill text on the National Assembly site, presented by the Minister of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services. It would give the Information Commission data protection powers and require a commissioner specialised in personal data. The document itself shows no assent, and we have not confirmed that the 2025 Act follows this text.

Checked on 3 October 2026 and due for review by 1 January 2027.
