Key Amendments to Saudi Arabia PDPL Implementing Regulations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s data protection law that regulates the use of personal data. It imposes several obligations on businesses and penalizes noncompliance. The Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence (SDAIA) regulates it.

The Saudi PDPL provides data subjects with an extensive set of rights, including the right to know, the right to access, the right to correction, the right to destruction, and the right to data portability.

Individuals who unlawfully disclose sensitive data with the intent to harm the data subject or gain personal benefit can face imprisonment for up to two years or fines up to three million Riyals, or both. Repeat offenders may face double fines. For other violations of the PDPL, fines can be as high as five million Riyals, with the possibility of doubled penalties for repeated infractions.
