Barbados Data Protection Act 2019 for DPOs
What does Barbados Data Protection Act 2019 require of a DPO?
The Barbados Data Protection Act 2019 (Cap. 380A) establishes a data protection framework for Barbados. Under Barbados Data Protection Act 2019, which defines 23 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which Barbados Data Protection Act 2019 controls land on the DPO
Data Protection Officers oversee privacy compliance, manage data subject rights requests, conduct privacy impact assessments, and serve as the point of contact with data protection authorities. The role is mandatory under GDPR for many organisations.
Barbados Data Protection Act 2019 defines 23 controls across 8 domains that directly affect the DPO role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
