The Personal Data Protection Law No. (24) of 2023 (PDPL) is Jordan's primary data privacy legislation. It was enacted to protect the privacy of individual’s personal data and regulate the processing of normal and sensitive personal data related to individuals within Jordan. It applies regardless of when the data was collected or if the data controller is based outside the country. However, it's important to note that the PDPL does not apply to individuals who process personal data for personal use.

The Jordan PDPL became operative on March 17, 2024. However, organizations that process personal data have been provided with a one-year grace period to modify their practices and comply with the new legislative requirements. The grace period will effectively end on March 17, 2025.

The Jordan PDPL establishes the Personal Data Protection Council (Council) as the primary regulatory authority responsible for approving policies, issuing licenses, setting standards, and handling complaints. The Council, supported by The Unit, focuses on regulatory oversight. Both bodies ensure compliance with the PDPL, and the Council also represents Jordan in international data protection matters.

Facts Related to Jordan PDPL

1

The PDPL requires controllers to notify The Unit within 72 hours and affected data subjects within 24 hours of discovering a breach that could cause significant harm.

2

A controller must appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if its core activities involve processing personal data, sensitive data, data of legally incapacitated persons, financial information, or if it handles data to be transferred outside Jordan. 

3

The Council may also mandate a DPO in other cases.

4

Under the PDPL, data transfer outside Jordan is generally prohibited unless there is international judicial cooperation, a medical emergency, or the data subject consents after being informed of the inadequate protection level.

5

Penalties for PDPL violations range from 1,000 to 10,000 dinars and double for repeat offenses. Article 22(B) of the PDPL also allows for database deletion or data destruction by court order.

6

The Council has the authority to fully or partially suspend or revoke the offender's license or permit if the breach persists after a warning. Until the violation is remedied, fines of up to 500 dinars per day may be applied, with a maximum cumulative fine of 3% of the violator's yearly income.

7

The aggrieved party can also file a civil action for damages resulting from a PDPL breach.

8

The Unit may publicly disclose proven violations at the violator's expense.
