Tunisia's data protection framework applies broadly. Any organisation, domestic or foreign, that collects, stores, processes, or transfers personal data belonging to individuals in Tunisia must comply. This includes:
- Private sector companies in financial services, healthcare, retail, telecoms, and technology
- International businesses with operations, partners, or customers in Tunisia
- Public bodies and government agencies handling citizen and employee data
- NGOs and research institutions processing sensitive personal information
- E-commerce and digital platforms targeting Tunisian residents
