My understanding of the Data Protection Act (2018) of Mauritius is similar to 
what you mentioned above. However, with regards to email related spam, I've 
put questions to CERT-MU on multiple occasions in the past, with no answer.

I am looping in Dr. Usmani in this email. He has been a board election 
candidate in the past and he is the Assistant Manager of CERT-MU. He can 
probably enlighten more on this.

Regards,
