- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under Law on Protection of Personal Data.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Armenia customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Armenia.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with Central Bank of Armenia applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for a digital wallet & E-Wallet app in Armenia
For clients in Armenia we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, Law on Protection of Personal Data requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
