Contract term
PDPL (UAE Personal Data Protection Law)
UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021, the federal law governing the processing of personal data in the UAE.
The PDPL sets requirements for how personal data is collected, processed, shared and secured. Contracts that involve processing personal data are generally expected to include data-protection provisions consistent with it.
A contract that processes personal data but lacks appropriate data-protection clauses is a compliance risk.
StartedUp can surface missing data-protection provisions where a contract appears to process personal data.
