Evidence
Law No. 20/17 of 25 November 2020 governing the telecommunication and information and communication technologies ('ICT'), see Title III: Protection of the privacy and personal data of users of networks and services of the telecommunications and information technology (link above).
"The Democratic Republic of Congo ('DRC') consecrates the respect for private life and the secrecy of correspondence as a fundamental right. There is no specific constitutional Article on the protection of personal data and there is no specific and comprehensive legislative framework on data protection. In fact, the data protection rules are spread over several laws and Decree-Laws.
Specifically and most pressingly, data protection provisions are included in Law No. 20/17 of 25 November 2020 governing the telecommunication and information and communication technologies ('ICT') sector (only available in French here) ('Law No. 20/17'), with Title III concerning the protection of the private life and personal data.
Although Law No. 20/17 came into force on the day of its promulgation, it was only published in the Official Gazette of the DRC on 29 September 2021 and, like the national Customs Code, it includes a definition of personal data - both Law No. 20/17 and the Customs Code adopt the same concept of 'personal data'."
