In September 2023, the PDPL was enacted in Saudi Arabia as part of its Vision 2030 initiative that includes a framework for digital transformation. All public and private organizations handling the personal data of residents of the Kingdom must comply with the legislation by late 2024.
The PDPL has a broad territorial scope, with strict data sovereignty rules as a major focus. Entities based outside of Saudi Arabia that handle personal data of Saudi residents must adhere to the legislation. Penalties for failure to comply are stiff, with hefty fines and prison sentences for breaches. The Saudi Data & AI Authority has broad powers of enforcement, including seizure of tools used to commit a violation of the PDPL and the doubling of fines for repeated breaches.
