However, the current Investment (Reserved and Restricted Activities) Regulations 2022 do not list digital trade–relevant sectors as restricted activities.

Fiji has a copyright regime under the Copyright Act 1999. However, the exceptions do not follow the fair use or fair dealing model, therefore limiting the lawful use of copyrighted work by others. Arts. 40-82 list the exceptions, which include use for criticism or review, news reporting, research or private study, educational purposes, and judicial proceedings. It is worth mentioning that the government refers to 'fair dealing' on its website; however, the text of the law does not explicitly mention this term.

In the case of a substantial change in data processing, the controller is obliged to update the DPIA report and keep it for the entire period of data processing and for at least one year after termination of processing.
