Why Bangladesh’s new data protection law may fail to protect your data
Bangladesh's major retail chain Shwapno suffered a breach in August 2025 exposing personal data of 4 million customers, including names, phone numbers, and purchase histories. The company did not disclose the incident to affected customers for seven months, raising questions about the effectiveness of Bangladesh's data protection law in enforcing notification and transparency requirements.
Why it matters: Organizations operating in Bangladesh and customers whose personal data is subject to Bangladesh's jurisdiction need to understand the enforcement gaps in the new law, and practitioners must assess whether their data protection policies meet the actual disclosure standards being applied in the market.
