Data Privacy Laws in the UAE | Episode

In this episode of Lawgical with Ludmila, Ludmila Yamalova, Managing Partner at HPL Yamalova & Plewka, explores the key aspects of UAE data privacy laws and the use of facial recognition technology. She compares the UAE’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) with the EU's GDPR, breaking down critical issues around consent, data storage, and international transfers. Ludmila also discusses the risks businesses face and how they can stay compliant with evolving regulations. Takeaways Key Insights on UAE Data Privacy & Facial Recognition Technology: • Consent Requirements: Explicit consent is a must before processing biometric data, but the GDPR offers more detailed guidelines on what constitutes valid consent. • Data Storage: Both the PDPL and GDPR prioritize secure data storage, but the UAE’s regulations are still pending. • International Transfers: Data transfers outside the UAE require adequate protection, with both laws mandating similar safeguards. • Risk Management: Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) is essential for businesses using facial recognition, though the GDPR’s enforcement is more robust. • Legal Compliance: Companies should proactively manage risks by staying compliant with both local laws and international standards.
