Right to Stop Processing

In force since 2 January 2022UAE PDPL 2026.1English, the official translation

Article (17) of the UAE PDPL, as in force since 2 January 2022. Its key is uae-pdpl:art-17, and each paragraph and point has its own.

The Data Subject shall have the right to object to the processing of his/her Personal Data and stop it in any of the following cases:

1.

If the processing is intended for the purposes of direct marketing, including profiling related to direct marketing.

2.

If the processing is intended for the purposes of conducting statistical surveys, unless the processing is necessary to serve the public interest.

3.

If the processing is carried out in violation of Article (5) of this Decree by Law.

Where the two differ, the Arabic text prevails. DPOLens finds the law. It is not legal advice. This page as Markdown.
