This week, we’ll focus on the importance of protecting personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse in today’s digital world. Safeguarding personal data has become crucial because personal data leaks can lead to loss of confidentiality, identity theft, fraud, and loss of control over one’s own personal data.
Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law protects individuals’ personal data, guarantees specific rights, and defines the obligations entities must fulfill to comply with its provisions.
