Document background
The Layered Privacy Notice is a essential compliance document required under Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) for organizations processing personal data. This document type has become increasingly important following the PDPL's implementation in 2023, as it provides transparency about data processing activities in an accessible format. The layered approach makes complex privacy information more digestible for data subjects while ensuring comprehensive legal compliance. The notice should be used by any organization collecting or processing personal data in Saudi Arabia or of Saudi Arabian residents, and must be updated regularly to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements. It serves as a key document for demonstrating compliance with PDPL's transparency obligations and helps organizations build trust with their stakeholders while mitigating legal risks.
