Saudi Arabia's
Personal Data Protection Law

In a digital world, privacy and data protection should be among the foremost considerations on the agenda. The state of Saudi Arabia has already enacted the Personal Data protection Law (PDPL) to protect privacy and personal data. This Act elaborates the responsibilities of organizations dealing with personal data as well as the rights of individuals with respect to their data.

PDPL Key Highlights

1. Scope and Applicability

PDPL applies to any and all entities which are processing the personal data of individuals regardless of whether they are physically present in the state of Saudi Arabia or not, both entities with established operations inside and outside the state.

2. Data Subjects Rights

The legislation has granted individuals several rights regarding their data, including:

• The right to access information about themselves.
• The right to access correction or deletion of inaccurate information.
• The right to receive notice of processing of their information.

3. Data Transfers & Processing Restrictions

Cross-border data transfer must take place under strict conditions that provide the same level of protection available within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Appropriate measures by the businesses must be in place before transferring personal data outside the country.

4. Breach Notification & Compliance Obligations

Organizations are required to implement clear data breach protocols and must inform the regulators when it is necessitated, in tandem with compliance with the governance, security, and documentation requirements of PDPL.

The Strategic Advantages of PDPL Alignment

• Stronger Market Position: Proof of compliance increases the trustworthiness of the organization and enhances the credibility of a business in the market.
• Smarter Data Utilization: A coordinated framework for governance allows for secure insights.
• Improved Customer Engagement: Good data policy builds goodwill for the brand among customers.
• Fortification of Cybersecurity: Enable you to shore up defences that guard against data breaches and cyber threats by proactively managing and mitigating risk.
