This policy becomes necessary when organizations collect, process, or store client personal data, requiring implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures. It addresses key aspects including data subject rights, breach notification procedures, and cross-border data transfers, while considering specific requirements for UAE mainland and free zone operations. The document should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in legal requirements and technological advancements in data protection.
