The Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) issued the QFC Data Protection Regulations 2021 (Regulations) on December 21, 2021. These Regulations went into effect on 19 June 2022 and placed the responsibility on those who collect, hold and process personal data while giving rights to the people whose data is collected. Furthermore, these Regulations define specific principles and obligations with which data controllers and data processors must comply.
These Regulations apply to the processing of personal data by a data controller or data processor incorporated or registered in the QFC. QFC Data Protection Regulations also apply to the processing of personal data by a data controller or data processor that is not incorporated or registered in the QFC, if that data controller or data processor processes personal data through a data controller or data processor that is incorporated or registered in the QFC.
