What Is Information Law (revised 6 December 2022)?

The supplied research pass did not locate a current general Democratic People's Republic of Korea data-protection statute or a dedicated privacy regulator or request route. The located record instead consists of a current Korean constitutional database entry, constitutional privacy language in older or secondary English materials, a 6 December 2022-revised Information Law focused on informatization and security, and a secondary description of general complaints and petitions. The reviewed materials did not establish enumerated access, correction, deletion, objection, or marketing opt-out rights, response timelines, or a dedicated privacy complaint process. They also did not establish a DPRK-specific data-broker or public-record removal route. This is a source-backed evidence profile with a narrow evidentiary boundary. The year shown follows the located 6 December 2022 revision of the Information Law; it is not presented as the enactment year of a current general data-protection statute. The available English materials are older or secondary where noted by the research summary.
