Chad

Name: Chad
Address: TD

Chad has had a personal data protection act since 2015, and a 2026 reform widened its cybersecurity agency's remit to cover AI oversight.

Act No. 007/PR/2015 of 10 February 2015 on personal data protection is enforced by the national agency ANSICE, with implementing regulations in a 2019 decree. Transfers outside CEMAC and ECCAS states need sufficient protection and prior approval from ANSICE. Ecofin reports that a presidential ordinance, ratified by both chambers in March 2026, expands ANSICE's responsibilities to data protection, cybercrime prevention, AI oversight, video surveillance and drones. We found no data centre or grid information.

AI policy and activity

Per Ecofin, AI oversight was added to the cybersecurity agency's remit in 2026. No standalone AI law was found.

Power and grid

No data centre was found for Chad in the pages read, and no grid or power rule for large loads was found.
