What it requires
- An app processing a Turkmen data subject's nationality, skin color, religious attitude, political conviction, health, or intimate-life data must have the subject's written consent, rely on publicly available data, or fall within a narrow list of justice, health, or membership-organization exceptions; such processing is prohibited by default otherwise.

What we found
Art. 21, read in full, prohibits by default processing data concerning nationality, skin color, attitude toward religion, political convictions, state of health, or intimate life.
The prohibition lifts for written subject consent, publicly available data, health necessity to protect vital interests where consent is unobtainable, medical purposes by a professional bound to confidentiality, processing by an association or religious organization of its own members' data, necessity for the administration of justice, or operational-investigative activity and criminal-sentence enforcement.
Biometric data is not among the Art. 21 categories; it is governed separately, see the biometric_privacy instrument for this jurisdiction.
