Kuwait’s Data Privacy Protection Regulations (DPPR) applies to all public and private Services Providers who collect, process, and store personal data and user-related content in whole or in part of a data storage system, whether processed inside or outside the State of Kuwait. Exceptions apply to individuals and entities when the processing is necessary for controlling crimes and implementing state security.
The DPPR does not provide specific penalties for violation of prescribed obligations but instead, it prescribes to impose penalties and fines, as per the Executive Regulations of Law No. 37 of 2014 regulating the establishment of the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA), which lay down a range of punishments including imprisonment for a term from one to five years and a fine ranging from KWD 500 (approx. €1,460) to KWD 20,000 (approx. €58,560), or a combination thereof.
