What we found

Armenia's Law on Protection of Personal Data, Law No. HO-49-N, took effect 1 July 2015 (Art. 28), replacing a 2002-era law on the same date. Two derived corpus candidates conflict on the exact adoption date, 18 May versus 8 May 2015; this document does not resolve that conflict and records only the confirmed in-force date.

General principles at Arts. 4-8 cover legality, proportionality, accuracy, minimal subject involvement, and lawfulness-of-processing grounds, across 29 articles total, considerably shorter and less elaborated than several of this jurisdiction's regional peers. All translations of Armenian-language text in this document are the researcher's own working translations, not an official translation.
