What Is Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024?
Ethiopia's official sources list Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024 as in force from publication on 24 July 2024. The Ethiopian Communications Authority (ECA) is identified as the national authority for the framework. The proclamation provides access, rectification, erasure, and objection rights, including an objection to direct marketing. It also provides written complaint routes, and the supplied research states that the Authority’s decision deadlines are 21 days. The exact public complaint intake workflow and later amendments were not located in the supplied research pass. This is therefore a bounded evidence profile rather than a complete claim-by-claim account of current Ethiopian data-protection law.
