What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.

Proposed: draft date not recorded.

A data subject rights rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 19 September 2026.

What it requires

The Maldives' Personal Data Protection Bill has not been enacted and creates no binding duty as of the date shown; it was submitted to the People's Majlis on 11 May 2026 and had not passed a chamber as of the most recent reporting located.
If enacted as drafted, a Controller would have to tell a data subject about the processing of their personal data and answer a request to access it, correct it, erase it, restrict its processing, receive it in a portable form, or object to the processing.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Chapter 4 would carry the rights of data subjects, opening on the general provisions that govern how they are exercised and running through the right to be informed about the processing, to obtain access to the personal data held, to have it corrected where it is inaccurate or incomplete, to have it erased, to restrict its processing, to receive it in a portable form, and to object to processing including profiling.

Section 55 would give every person a right to compensation for damage caused by a breach of the Act, which the enforcement row carries. The Bill's own text carries no Act number and no record of ratification or gazette publication, and it was still at the submission stage in the most recent reporting located, so nothing in this row binds anyone today.
