Über das Webinar:

Am 15. September 2024 wird das saudische Gesetz zum Schutz personenbezogener Daten (PDPL) vollständig in Kraft treten, einschließlich der erheblichen Strafen von bis zu mehreren Millionen SAR, die im Falle der Nichteinhaltung drohen. Zum besseren Verständnis des Inhalts und der Struktur des Gesetzes zieht Hundt & Partners einen Vergleich zwischen dem PDPL und der Allgemeinen Datenschutzverordnung (GDPR) der Europäischen Union, die die saudische Gesetzgebung in gewissem Maße inspiriert hat. Die Teilnehmer erfahren mehr über die gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Datenschutzbeauftragten (DSB) und deren Aufgaben und dessen Haftung.
