What Is Liberia 2024 General Data-Protection Act?
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications publishes an approved and printed copy of Liberia's first general data-protection Act, with a cover recording approval on 9 March 2026 and printing on 23 March 2026. The available official PDF has no extractable operative text beyond the cover, so this profile does not state commencement, assign an operational regulator, or list specific statutory rights or remedies that cannot be checked against the full text. A 25 June 2026 Liberia Internet Governance Forum statement independently reports presidential signing. The Liberia Telecommunications Authority Act 2007 was also among the supplied sources, but the research summary does not establish it as a substitute for a comprehensive personal-data statute. This is a bounded evidence profile, not a full claim-by-claim legal review.

Scope, who Liberia Data Protection Act 2024 covers
Protected data
Data subject rights
No specific statutory data-subject rights can be stated safely because authenticated statutory rights text was not located in the supplied research pass
Notable features
The Ministry-published copy records approval on 9 March 2026 and printing on 23 March 2026, but its available text layer does not expose a commencement clause or operative provisions. The Act is therefore treated as an authenticated printed instrument without claiming that its operative status or rights framework is fully verified.
Enforcement & penalties
Penalties: No authenticated statutory penalty text or consolidated penalty schedule was located in the supplied research pass, so no penalty figure is stated here.
Private right of action: No authenticated remedies or private-right-of-action text was located. The supplied research does not establish a separate civil damages route or an operational privacy complaint route.
Relevance to data brokers
The supplied summary does not identify a Liberia-specific data-broker, people-search, or public-record removal route. No such route is presented here while the general statute, authority, and rights text remain unresolved.
