Under the Code du Numérique (Ordonnance-Loi n° 23/010 of March 13, 2023), digital users in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are granted specific rights and legal protections designed to regulate the digital economy and protect personal information.

So, today our podacst outlines the Digital Code of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a comprehensive legal framework enacted in 2023 to govern the nation's digital economy and cybersecurity. This legislation establishes strict compliance obligations for businesses, requiring them to obtain specific authorizations and adhere to principles of transparency, confidentiality, and data protection. Key pillars of the code include the legal recognition of electronic signatures, the regulation of e-commerce, and the mandatory local storage of strategic data to ensure national sovereignty. Furthermore, the law introduces rigorous penalties for cybercrime, such as hacking and the dissemination of false information on social media.
