## 🧭 What is DZ Privacy Compass?
**DZ Privacy Compass** is a privacy-first, self-hostable platform for implementing, operating, assessing, and evidencing an organisation's Algerian personal-data protection programme.
It brings legal requirements, processing activities, risks, evidence, DPO operations, data-subject rights, ANPDP readiness, privacy-by-design, assurance, reporting, and governance workflows into one operational workspace.
The project is centred on:
- **Law 18-07** on the protection of individuals in the processing of personal data
- **Law 25-11** amending and supplementing Law 18-07
- practical privacy governance and accountability
- evidence-based compliance and assurance
> **DZ Privacy Compass is independent open-source software. It is not an ANPDP or Algerian Government application and does not replace qualified legal advice.**
