Protect personal data and avoid breaches with more certainty through tools that ensure data confidentiality, access control, and transparency.
What is Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)?
The Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) is the first data protection law in Saudi Arabia. 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?
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.
