Central African Republic

Name: Central African Republic
Address: CF

The Central African Republic has a 2024 personal data protection law and a January 2024 cybersecurity law, with no data centre found.

Law No. 24-001 on the protection of personal data takes effect from promulgation and gave the responsible ministry twelve months to set up a protection agency, with the ministry acting in the interim. Transfers to states outside the CEMAC and ECCAS groupings require prior notification to the agency. A separate cybersecurity and anti-cybercrime law, reported as adopted by the National Assembly on 25 January 2024 and then awaiting promulgation, would create a national cybersecurity agency. We found no data centre, compute or grid information.

Rules and programmes

Rules and programmes
Instrument	Kind	Status	What it does
Law No. 24-001 on the protection of personal data Read the cited source	Law	In force	Primary. Text hosted by the telecoms regulator ARCEP-CF. It permits transfers only where the destination offers similar protection, with listed exceptions, and requires prior notification for non-CEMAC and non-ECCAS destinations. It takes effect from promulgation; the promulgation date was not clear in the extract, so the date is left null. MoFo's privacy library lists the same law and notes the agency under the postal and telecommunications ministry.
Cybersecurity and anti-cybercrime law (National Assembly vote of 25 January 2024) Read the cited source	Law	Unclear	Reported. Osiris news item. It says the Assembly approved the law unanimously, that it creates the Central African National Cybersecurity Agency (Ancy) under the public security and digital economy ministries, and that it sets prison terms for listed offences. The article says the law would soon be promulgated by the President. We did not find the law text, its number or its promulgation date, so the status and effective date are unconfirmed.

Checked on 3 October 2026 and due for review by 1 January 2027. Many sources are trade press or law-firm summaries rather than official texts, and statuses such as reported or unconfirmed are shown as the source gives them. This is a summary, not legal advice.
