Oman’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) was published in the country’s official gazette on February 13, 2022, and came into force on February 13, 2023. The law applies to any natural person’s personal data, including but not limited to their name, location data, identification number, and health-related information. Oman’s PDPL defines personal data as “data that identifies a natural person or makes him identifiable, directly or indirectly, by reference to one or more identifiers.”

Furthermore, additional regulations regarding the obligation of controllers, external auditors, as well as processors, including their roles and functions are expected to be issued in due course.
