Implementation of Saudia Arabia’s PDPL delayed to 2023

The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority postponed implementation of the Personal Data Protection Law until March 17, 2023, the Saudi Gazette reports. In a press release shared on Twitter, the SDAIA said the postponement follows stakeholder views and responses to a public consultation and was made “in order to achieve the ultimate goal of such a law.” The SDAIA encouraged stakeholders to participate in a second public consultation process to “enhance” the law, which had been set to take effect March 23.
