Law on Protection of Personal Data, enforcement
What it requires
- An app processing the personal data of a person in Armenia must be prepared to answer to the Authorized Body for Personal Data Protection's audit and enforcement powers; no dedicated civil-damages provision exists within this Act itself, and individual recourse runs through the Art. 17 appeal right.

What we found
Art. 24 creates an independent Authorized Body for Personal Data Protection, structured by government resolution, with powers to audit compliance, apply administrative-liability measures established by law, demand suspension or cessation of unlawful processing, demand rectification, blocking, or destruction, block processing following review of a pre-processing notification, maintain a processor registry, certify adequate-security electronic systems, inspect devices and documents, apply to court, investigate individual complaints, publish an annual public report, and provide guidance.
No compensation or damages term was found anywhere in the Act; specific fine amounts live in the separate RA Code on Administrative Offences, which was not read for this document, so no figures are stated here. Individual recourse runs through the Art. 17 appeal right or the authority's own court-application power, not a dedicated statutory civil-damages provision inside this Act; general Civil Code tort provisions might independently support a damages claim but were not researched here.
