The Constitution of Nepal, 2015
The Constitution of Nepal has recognized right to privacy as a fundamental right under Article 28. This inviolable fundamental right guarantees the right to individuals to decide who may enter their residence and protects them from unauthorized intrusions. It also restricts a third party to use or disclose their property, documents, correspondence, etc.
The Privacy Act, 2018
Implementing the constitutional right to privacy, in September 2018, Nepal passed The Privacy Act, 2018 which had a major impact on the data privacy and security in Nepal.
However, this is not a unified law on privacy and it must be read in conjunction with the general laws of Nepal like Criminal code and Civil Code.
The Act contains provisions regarding privacy of body, character, family, residence, property, document, data, correspondence and privacy through electronic means.
The Act and Regulations provide no specific provision so as to regulate data transfers. The term “transfer” indicates transferring of personal information to the third party thereby requiring consent from a concerned individual.
Pursuant to the Act, consent of an individual is sufficient enough for transferring the data. The Act prohibits disclosing or transferring of personal data of an individual without obtaining consent from such an individual.
