In particular, the Personal Data Protection Law defines the scope of its application as well as data protection officers, data processing, and personal data. In addition, the Personal Data Protection Law establishes a commission ('the Commission') to supervise compliance with the same, and gives the Commission enforcement powers, including financial penalties.
