Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL): What Your Business Must Know

With the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), overseen by the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA), protecting customer data is now a legal responsibility for every business collecting data in the Kingdom.

Core principles

  • Consent: collect data with clear consent from the individual.
  • Purpose limitation: use data only for the stated purpose.
  • Individual rights: access, correction, deletion, and consent withdrawal.

What it means for your app and website

  • A clear privacy policy and real consent mechanisms.
  • Secure data storage, encryption, and access controls.
  • Processes to respond to individuals' data requests.

Compliance is a competitive edge

Customers and large institutions trust those who protect their data. Compliance opens the door to major contracts.
