The Consumer Protection Regulation (Circular No. 8/2020) (CPR) was issued by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates on December 31, 2020. Licensed financial institutions governed by the UAE’s Central Bank must adhere to the CPR and the related Consumer Protection Standards (CPS) when handling consumer data.

The CPR imposes various standards concerning conduct, data protection, governance and oversight, responsible lending practices, information and transparency, barriers to competition and access to services, complaints handling, and public awareness.

The CPR and CPS require licensed financial institutions to commit more resources to consumer data protection and implement improved security measures, giving the financial sector an improved overhaul.

Additionally, the CPR and CPS require institutions to design and implement a compliance program with organizational, technical, procedural, and documentary aspects and ensure that it is communicated to and followed by staff.

Securiti enables organizations to comply with the Central Bank of UAE's Consumer Protection Regulations (CPR) & Consumer Protection Standards (CPS) through AI-driven PI data discovery, DSR automation, documented accountability, enhanced visibility into data processing activities, and AI-driven process automation.

Key CPR & CPS Requirements for Financial Institutions

CPR and CPS lay out the following key requirements for licensed financial institutions.

Consumers must be informed in writing of their rights, how their personal data will be used, including disclosures and profiling activities, and what will happen if they refuse to submit the required personal data.

Financial institutions must have multi-channel security where each distribution channel needs to be secure and private.

For effective data management, financial institutions must have a robust system of checks and balances, policies, procedures, and system controls.

Financial institutions must develop employee training and awareness programs on their control framework and ensure that staff receives at least yearly reminders of the need to protect personal information.

Access to customer data should be restricted to authorized personnel and business lines. A log of access to customer data must be kept and made available to the Central Bank upon request; the log must specify which staff members accessed customer data and when.

Before customer data is provided to a third party or used for direct marketing, informed and explicit consent must be obtained. If the consent is for direct marketing, the record of consent must be kept for 5 years following the end of the customer connection.

When sharing data with third parties, the transferring of data to other parties must employ the use of encryption techniques.

Quick Facts about CPR & CPS

Here are some important facts to know about the CPR & CPS:

1

Financial institutions must create a division to handle consumer data protection.

2

Financial institutions must set aside additional resources, such as hiring personnel whose sole duty is ensuring procedures are best suited to safeguarding customer data.

3

Financial institutions must notify the Central Bank of substantial consumer data breaches and the relevant consumer if there is a risk to their financial and personal security.

4

Financial institutions should set up procedures for breach situations, such as specifying who is responsible for reporting the breach and giving personnel sample forms to explain the circumstance.

5

Financial institutions are responsible for implementing adequate security measures to safeguard the customer data they store.
