Law 18-07, the personal data in your customers' messages, professional secrecy, and how far a model can be trusted on Algerian law. What a business has to know before it sends anything to an AI model.
Your business puts AI to work: a support bot, a summary tool, a chat window your staff open every day. Then a question arrives that no tutorial answers. Is it legal to send this customer's message to a model abroad?
This topic gathers the answers: what Law 18-07 protects, where an AI tool meets it, what doctors and lawyers owe their patients and clients, and how to check a model's answers about Algerian law.
Every message sent to a model is read by that model, and most models run outside Algeria. A message that carries a name, a phone number or a diagnosis carries it abroad.
Law 18-07 of 10 June 2018 protects people when their personal data is processed, and it applies to businesses of every size, from a freelancer to a bank.
The guide on Law 18-07 and the protection of personal data in Algeria covers the whole question: what the law covers, where AI meets it, how to keep personal data out of your requests, and the steps to follow in order.
From there, each article answers one narrower question: where personal data may be hosted, what professional secrecy demands of an AI tool, and how to make a model answer from the official text of Algerian law.
