  "bluf": "The Central African Republic (CAR) has established the Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications et des Postes (ARTP) as the national regulatory authority for electronic communications and postal services. The Constitution of the Central African Republic establishes fundamental rights including the right to privacy of private and family life and the inviolability of correspondence and private communications. As a member state of the African Union, the Central African Republic is subject to the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (Malabo Convention, 2014), which provides the applicable regional standard for personal data protection. The CAR does not have a standalone comprehensive personal data protection law. The constitutional privacy framework, ARTP regulatory requirements for telecommunications operators, and AU Malabo Convention principles together constitute the reference legal framework for personal data protection obligations in the Central African Republic. Organisations processing personal data in the CAR must respect constitutional privacy rights, comply with ARTP regulatory obligations for licensed electronic communications services, and implement personal data processing practices consistent with the AU Malabo Convention. ARTP has enforcement authority over licensed telecommunications and electronic communications operators regarding subscriber data protection and network security.",
