Legal Support on Data Processing and Data Protection

The regulation of personal data in Kyrgyzstan has undergone significant changes following the adoption of the Digital Code, which brought updated requirements for the collection, storage, and processing of data. Companies therefore need to revisit their internal processes and bring them into line with the new rules.
