Document background
The Global Privacy Notice is a fundamental document required for compliance with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45/2021 and other applicable data protection regulations. It is essential for any organization operating in the UAE that processes personal data, whether dealing with customers, employees, or other stakeholders. The notice must be implemented when an organization begins collecting personal data and should be regularly updated to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements. This document serves multiple purposes: ensuring compliance with UAE data protection laws, providing transparency to data subjects, and establishing clear guidelines for internal data handling practices. The Global Privacy Notice becomes particularly important when organizations operate across multiple jurisdictions or UAE free zones, as it must harmonize various privacy requirements while maintaining compliance with UAE federal law.
