The Client Data Protection Policy is essential for organizations operating in Saudi Arabia that collect, process, or store client personal data. This document became particularly crucial following the implementation of Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) in 2022, which introduced comprehensive data protection requirements aligned with international standards while maintaining compliance with local laws and Sharia principles. The policy addresses mandatory requirements for data protection, including consent mechanisms, data subject rights, security measures, and breach notification procedures. It serves as a fundamental document for ensuring compliance with Saudi regulatory requirements, managing risks associated with data processing, and maintaining trust with clients. Organizations should implement this policy as part of their broader data governance framework and regularly update it to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and technological advancements.
