Greenland

Summary

Law: Personal Data Protection Act 2016 (available only in Greenlandic here and in Danish here) ('the Act')

Regulator: Danish data protection authority ('Datatilsynet')

Summary: Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark that has separate data protection legislation, the Act, but shares the same regulator. The Act is considered to be broadly similar to the Danish Act on Processing of Personal Data 2011, although it varies in relation to CCTV surveillance requirements and the judicial processing of personal data. In addition, Datatilsynet has published notices and orders, as well as a collection of guidelines for Greenland. In addition, Annex II of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ('TFEU') lists Greenland among the Association of Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union that are regulated under Part IV of the TFEU.
