On November 28th, 2021, the UAE Cabinet enacted the Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 regarding the Protection of Personal Data. The UAE’s PDPL applies to the processing of personal data, by wholly or partly automated means, or any other means, by any data controller or data processor within the UAE processing the personal data of UAE’s residents who are within or outside of the UAE. UAE’s PDPL also applies to data controllers or data processors who are not established in UAE but process the personal data of residents of UAE.
UAE’s PDPL will take into effect on 02 January 2022, and will be supplemented by the issuance of a set of Executive Regulations which will be published in March 2022. Organizations will have a further six months from the date on which the Executive Regulations are issued in order to comply with the PDPL.
However, this date may be extended at the discretion of the UAE Cabinet.
