Mauritius

Mauritius is the first country in the southern hemisphere to have recently revamped its data protection legal regime by repealing the previous Data Protection Act 2004 ("DPA 2004") and adopting a new law, namely the Data Protection Act 2017 ("DPA 2017") following the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ("GDPR") in the European Union.
