Privacy guidance for Dominica

Start with your activities, the people whose data you use and the rules that apply to each relationship.

Sources reviewed: 25 October 2026. General guidance, not legal advice.

Local starting point

The Government publishes privacy and security information for its portal. A website policy does not establish the full legal duties of private organisations. Confirm the current legislative and sector position with a local adviser.

Practical priorities

Plan how authorised staff can access essential records during disruption without exposing customer or employee information through personal accounts.

International activities

Overseas privacy requirements may be relevant depending on your establishment, activities, customers and contractual role. Handling information about an overseas person alone does not settle which law applies. For GDPR, assess territorial scope under Article 3 and seek advice where needed.

Useful steps now

Record the personal data you use and the reason you need it.
Identify sector rules and confidentiality commitments.
Check overseas suppliers, data transfers and contracts.
Set access, retention and incident-reporting arrangements.
