Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024.

This proclamation establishes Ethiopia's legal framework for protecting personal information and regulating how personal data is collected, processed, stored and transferred. It addresses individuals' rights concerning their personal information and the responsibilities of organisations that handle such data. Its provisions cover personal data processing, sensitive personal information, data protection responsibilities, regulatory oversight and safeguards against misuse or unauthorised handling of personal information. The law is particularly relevant in an increasingly digital society where citizens interact with online services, financial institutions, telecommunications providers and government platforms. It provides a useful reference for understanding privacy rights and data protection responsibilities in Ethiopia.
