Section 1 — About UAE PDPL

Build privacy around accountability and individual rights.

The UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) establishes requirements for how organizations collect, use, store and protect personal data in the UAE. The law came into force on 2 January 2022.

It focuses on areas such as lawful and transparent processing, consent, data subject rights, security safeguards, breach management and responsible handling of personal data.

For organizations, UAE PDPL compliance means being able to show how personal data is processed, what safeguards are in place and how privacy obligations are managed in practice.
