The PDPL's Scope of Application
The law covers any entity processing personal data within the Kingdom, regardless of the business's size or activity, covering data collection, processing, storage, and transfer, imposing obligations on every business dealing with customer or employee data.
Obtaining Explicit Consent for Data Processing
We help businesses design clear mechanisms for obtaining individuals' explicit consent before processing their personal data, compliant with the law's requirements regarding this consent's form and clarity.
Internal Data Processing Policies
We review personal data processing policies for technology and industrial businesses, confirming full compliance with the PDPL and its implementing regulations, including defining processing purposes and data retention periods.
Securing Data Against Breaches
We help businesses understand statutorily required technical data security requirements, including encrypting sensitive data and restricting access to only authorized employees.
Data Breach Incident Response Procedures
We help businesses design sound legal response procedures when a data breach incident occurs, including immediately documenting the incident and assessing the impact's scale on affected individuals.
Statutory Notification Obligations Upon Breach
The law imposes time-bound notification obligations toward the relevant authority and affected individuals when a data breach occurs, and we help businesses respond correctly within these tight deadlines.
Transferring Data Outside the Kingdom
We help businesses understand statutory restrictions on transferring personal data outside the Kingdom, and additional requirements to meet before any international transfer of sensitive data, especially with foreign cloud service providers.
Individuals' Rights Over Their Personal Data
We clarify to businesses individuals' statutorily guaranteed rights over their data, such as the right to access, correction, and requesting data deletion, and help them design practical mechanisms for responding to these requests.
Data Protection Impact Assessments for New Projects
We help companies conduct a data protection impact assessment before launching new projects or services involving intensive personal data processing, avoiding non-compliance risks from the start.
Employee Training on Data Protection Requirements
We advise businesses to periodically train employees on Personal Data Protection Law requirements, since many breach incidents stem from simple human error preventable with sufficient awareness among employees handling data.
