The Data Protection Act was passed in August 2019 and proclaimed in March 2021. It regulates the collection, keeping, processing, use and dissemination of personal data. Officials have not given a deadline for companies to become fully compliant with the Act, which carries hefty fines for breaches reaching up to $500,000 and jail time of up to three years. Privacy Advisory Services Rishi Maharaj said it was critical for companies in Barbados and other countries with data protection laws to adhere to the requirements.
