SDAIA Seeks Public Input on BCR Guidelines for Personal Data Transfer

The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) is calling on the public and relevant stakeholders to participate in a public consultation on the Guidelines for Binding Common Rules (BCR) for Personal Data Transfer through the National Competitiveness Center's Public Consultation Platform (Istitlaa). This guide outlines a process for creating standardized rules to govern the transfer of personal data to countries or international organizations lacking adequate data protection safeguards. The aim is to establish a mechanism that ensures that personal data transferred outside Saudi Arabia receives a level of protection equivalent to that mandated by the Personal Data Protection Law and its Implementing Regulations. The consultation is open until August 30 at: https://istitlaa.ncc.gov.sa/en/Transportation/NDMO/BCR/Pages/default.aspx. Source: Saudi Press Agency
