Trinidad and Tobago's Ministry of Digital Transformation Executive Legal Advisor Rudyard Davidson said work is ongoing to fully operationalize the country's Data Protection Act and Electronic Transaction Act. "We want to do it as a matter of urgency," Davidson said, noting ongoing consultations with stakeholders on various regulations associated with the acts could be complete in fiscal year 2024.
