How We Can Help

Expert Guidance on UAE Data Protection Laws

The UAE's Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Protection of Personal Data (PDPL) requires all businesses operating in the UAE to evaluate their data processing activities and implement necessary changes. The DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020 and ADGM Data Protection Law 2021 apply to entities processing data and operating in the respective financial freezones and extends to their related entities. At Equiom, we help you understand and comply with these regulations, ensuring your business meets all legal requirements.
