Cameroon

Name: Cameroon
Address: CM

Cameroon adopted a personal data protection law in December 2024, alongside its 2010 cybersecurity law, and no compute programme or data centre was found.

Law No. 2024/017 of 23 December 2024 is described as the main personal data framework, with an independent authority and prior authorisation for transfers abroad. Law No. 2010/012 of 21 December 2010 on cybersecurity and cybercriminality is overseen by the national ICT agency ANTIC and requires operators to keep connection data for ten years. The DLA Piper summary says an implementing decree for the 2024 law was still pending and that no data localisation rule is stated. We found no data centre or grid information.
