What Is Law No. 6 of 2022 on Electronic Transactions?
The supplied official materials describe Libya's comprehensive personal-data law as a drafting or proposed project rather than an authenticated general statute. Law No. 6 of 2022 on Electronic Transactions is recorded as in force and its Chapter VII provides sector-scoped rules: personal-data collection for authentication, confidentiality, notice before processing, access/update, and an appropriate level of protection for transfers outside Libya. The related banking and Ministry of Economy routes remain sector-specific, not a confirmed comprehensive personal-data rights framework. The supplied pass did not locate a national personal-data supervisory complaint route. This entry therefore describes the 2022 electronic-transactions instrument and related sectoral routes without presenting them as a general data-broker or comprehensive privacy complaint process. It is a bounded evidence profile, not a full claim-by-claim legal review.

Sector-scoped right to access and update personal data held by an authentication service provider

Notable features
The comprehensive personal-data project is described as drafting or proposed, while the official Parliament index confirms narrower 2022 electronic-transactions and cybercrime laws. This entry uses Law No. 6 of 2022 as its statutory anchor and does not turn sectoral material into a confirmed general privacy law.
Enforcement & penalties
Regulator: No dedicated national personal-data supervisory authority located
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 sectoral rights and routes but do not establish a separate private damages action for comprehensive personal-data claims or a national privacy complaint route.
Relevance to data brokers
No Libya-specific data-broker, people-search, or public-record removal route was located. The electronic-transactions, banking, and Ministry of Economy routes should not be presented as a confirmed broker-specific opt-out process.
