Any organization or entity—public or private—that handles the personal data of individuals residing in the country where PDPL is enforced (e.g., Saudi Arabia, UAE) must comply, including foreign companies that offer services to local users.

PDPL (Personal Data Protection Law) Compliance refers to the alignment of organizational data practices with national privacy legislation aimed at protecting individuals' personal data and regulating how that data is collected, processed, stored, and shared. Originating in various forms across countries such as Saudi Arabia (KSA PDPL), the UAE, and others, PDPL frameworks are modeled after global standards like the EU's GDPR, but are customized to regional legal, cultural, and economic contexts.
The Personal Data Protection Law establishes a legal foundation for privacy rights, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and security in personal data handling. It applies to both public and private sector organizations that process personal data within the country or of its residents—even if the entity operates from abroad.
Lawful and Fair Processing: Data must be collected with clear legal grounds and in a fair, non-intrusive manner.
Purpose Limitation: Personal data must be processed only for legitimate and explicitly defined purposes.
Data Minimization: Only the data necessary to fulfill the intended purpose should be collected and retained.
Accuracy and Integrity: Data must be kept accurate and up-to-date, with mechanisms for correction or deletion.
Security Safeguards: Organizations must implement technical and organizational measures to prevent data breaches and unauthorized access.
Individual Rights: Data subjects have rights such as consent, access, correction, deletion, and objection to processing.
Cross-Border Restrictions: Data transfers outside the country are regulated and may require additional approvals or safeguards.
