KSA PDPL Compliance — frequently asked questions
- What is the Saudi PDPL?
- The Personal Data Protection Law, Royal Decree M/19 of 2021 (amended 2023), is the Kingdom's GDPR-equivalent regulation. The Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) enforces it, with full enforcement effective September 2024.
- Who must comply with KSA PDPL?
- Any controller or processor — inside or outside the Kingdom — that processes personal data of individuals residing in Saudi Arabia, or that processes Saudi personal data for goods, services or behaviour monitoring.
- What are PDPL data-transfer restrictions?
- Cross-border transfers require SDAIA approval, adequacy, or recognized safeguards (SCCs, BCRs). Sensitive personal data and large-scale transfers face additional pre-transfer impact assessment.
- How does PDPL compare to GDPR?
- Conceptually aligned (lawful basis, DSARs, breach reporting, DPO, DPIA) with KSA-specific provisions on data residency, sensitive-data categories, and SDAIA registration. Most GDPR programmes reach PDPL alignment within a quarter.
