Jordan's Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023 is confirmed in force from 17 March 2024. The supplied official materials identify a Personal Data Protection Directorate within the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE) as the body receiving complaints after a controller-first step. Official materials reviewed in this pass support rights to access and obtain a copy, correction or updating, restriction, erasure or concealment, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent.
