Data Protection

What are my data rights with Moroccan companies?

Moroccan data protection law grants you free rights to access your data, rectify inaccurate information within 10 days, and object to processing or direct marketing without legal obligation.

Do I have the right to refuse advertising emails and calls?

Yes, direct marketing by automated calls, fax, or email requires your prior consent. Email marketing is permitted for similar products if you can easily opt out free of charge with each message.

Can a company use my personal data without my consent in Morocco?

Companies need your explicit consent to use personal data in Morocco, except for legal obligations, contracts, public interest, or legitimate interests that don't override your rights.

Whom can I complain to if my data is misused in Morocco?

File complaints about data misuse with Morocco's National Commission for the Control of Personal Data Protection, which investigates, orders corrections, and can refer cases to prosecutors.

Do you need permission to process health data?

Yes, health data requires National Commission authorization or prior declaration. Express consent or legal necessity applies, except for licensed practitioners providing care.
