What Is Law No. 025/2023 of 12 July 2023 amending Law No. 001/2011 of 25 September 2011 on the Protection of Personal Data?
Gabon’s official materials identify Law No. 025/2023, promulgated and published in July 2023 as an amendment to Law No. 001/2011. The controlling materials for this profile are in French. The APDPVP materials identify access, correction, and erasure routes, as well as objection rights including an objection to direct marketing. The supplied research states that a controller has one month to respond, extendable by two additional months. This is a source-backed evidence profile. No Gabon-specific data-broker or public-record removal route was located in the supplied research, so the general rights and APDPVP materials should not be presented as a confirmed broker-deletion process.
