What it requires

Nepal's Privacy Act gives a person a right to apply to a public body to correct wrong or unfounded information about them, including biometric information, but this correction right runs against public bodies specifically; no equivalent access, erasure, or correction right against a private body corporate was found.

What we found

Section 28 is the sole rights-like provision located: a right to apply to the concerned public body to correct information the person believes is wrong or not fact-based, with the public body deciding after inquiry whether to correct it. The right does not run against a private body corporate on its face. No express right of access, erasure, portability, or objection was found anywhere in the sections read, a materially thinner rights catalog than this batch's other South Asian jurisdictions.
