Consultation Paper No. 6 of 2020: New Data Protection Regulatory Framework
The Abu Dhabi Global Market proposes replacing its existing data protection regulations with a new framework broadly aligned with the GDPR to enhance global compliance and individual rights. The proposal introduces specific operational adjustments, including extended response times for data subject requests, simplified accountability obligations for SMEs, and an independent supervisory authority with enforcement powers. Additionally, the document outlines updated rules on international data transfers, breach notifications, and the imposition of administrative fines for non-compliance.
