What Is Electronic Commerce Act 2003?
The located Iranian framework is limited. The Electronic Commerce Act 2003 protects certain electronic personal-data messages and states provisions concerning access, amendment or removal of incorrect data, conditional removal of a complete file, and a choice relating to advertising mail or email. The FOI Commission’s current 10-working-day process is limited to covered public-information requests. The supplied research did not establish that this process is a general personal-data complaint or access route. No comprehensive enacted data-protection law, standalone data-protection authority, or general data-broker route was located in the supplied search. This profile therefore keeps the Electronic Commerce Act provisions separate from the limited FOI process.

The located protections are sectoral or instrument-limited rather than a comprehensive enacted data-protection framework. The FOI Commission’s 10-working-day process is kept separate because the supplied research limits it to covered public-information requests.
Enforcement & penalties
Penalties: The supplied research summary did not provide a consolidated privacy penalty schedule or amount, so no penalty figure is stated here.
Private right of action: The supplied materials identify limited statutory and public-information processes but do not establish a general private damages action for personal-data disputes.
Relevance to data brokers
No Iran-specific data-broker, people-search, public-record, or general personal-data removal route was located. The Electronic Commerce Act provisions should not be presented as a confirmed broker opt-out process.
