Its purpose is to protect residents’ rights to their personal data by ensuring that businesses comply with specific data protection principles. The law covers all types of personal data processing, including the collection, use, storage, sharing, transfer, and updating of personal data belonging to Saudi Arabian residents. During the first two years, the Saudi Data & Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) will implement and enforce the PDPL. After this period, the National Data Management Office will assume the role of supervisory authority. The PDPL is aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to enhance digital infrastructure and foster innovation for a thriving digital economy within the country. It covers essential aspects of data protection, including data processing principles, data subjects' rights, organizations' obligations, and penalties for non compliance. ### Who does PDPL apply to? ![SA_Map](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/SA_Map.png "SA_Map") The PDPL applies to public and private companies and their affiliates that process the personal data of Saudi residents to provide them with goods or services. This law also applies to entities operating outside of Saudi Arabia if they process the personal data of Saudi residents. ### What are the principles of data processing in PDPL? ![Consistent Requirements](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/Consistent%20Requirements.svg) ### Consistent Requirements Organizations cannot process personal data without the data owners’ free consent except in cases stipulated under the implementing regulations. ![Record of Processing Activities](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/Record%20of%20Processing%20Activities.svg) ### Record of Processing Activities Organizations must maintain records of their activities during the process and an additional five years after the processing activities have concluded. ![Security Requirements](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/Security%20Requirements.svg) ### Security Requirements Businesses are required to implement suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of personal data, even when it is being transferred to another party.
 ![Cross-Border Data Transfer Requirements](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/Cross-Border%20Data%20Transfer%20Requirements.svg) ### Cross-Border Data Transfer Requirements The PDPL permits transfers outside of KSA, but it requires the recipient country to have regulations protecting personal data and a supervisory entity that enforces procedures and measures to safeguard personal data. ![Appointing a Data Processing Officer](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/Appointing%20a%20Data%20Processing%20Officer.svg) ### Appointing a Data Processing Officer Organizations must appoint someone (or multiple people) to implement the PDPL's provisions. ![Impact Assessment](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/Impact%20Assessment.svg) ### Impact Assessment Organizations must assess the consequences of processing personal data for any product or service provided to the public, according to the nature of their processing activities.  ![Privacy Policy Requirements](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/Privacy%20Policy%20Requirements.svg) ### Privacy Policy Requirements All companies that handle Saudi residents' data must have a privacy policy that is accessible to the public. This policy should clearly state who owns the data, explain the purpose of collecting the data, outline the methods used for collection and processing, specify the situations in which the data will be disclosed, and describe the procedures for data destruction.
 ![Data Breach Notification](https://www.puredome.com/hubfs/Data%20Breach%20Notification.svg) ### Data Breach Notification When a business becomes aware of a breach in personal data, such as unauthorized access, damage, or leakage, it must inform the regulatory authority within 72 hours. However, if the breach has the potential to cause significant harm, the affected individual must be notified without delay. ### How PureDome helps you comply with its Zero Trust approach ##### Secure Remote Access Ensure compliance with the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) effortlessly with PureDome's [Secure Remote Access solution](https://www.puredome.com/secure-remote-access).
