Understanding Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)

In today’s digital world, your data is valuable — and so is your privacy.
Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) sets clear rules on how personal information must be collected, processed, and protected. At SAVA, we take these rules seriously to ensure your files and personal details remain secure.

What is the PDPL?

The PDPL is a national law designed to safeguard individuals’ personal data in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
It defines:

  • What counts as personal data

  • How it can be used

  • The rights you have over your information

What Counts as Personal Data?

Personal data includes any information that can identify you, directly or indirectly. This may include:

  • Basic details: Your name, address, or phone number

  • Official identifiers: Your ID or license number

  • Financial information: Bank or credit card numbers

  • Media: Photos, videos, and biometric data

  • Other sensitive details: Any personal nature information

How Your Data Can Be Processed

The PDPL regulates all activities involving personal data, whether manual or automated, such as:

  • Collecting

  • Storing

  • Organizing

  • Using

  • Sharing or transferring

  • Deleting

Your Rights Under the PDPL

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
