Article (22) of the UAE PDPL, as in force since 2 January 2022. Its key is uae-pdpl:art-22, and each paragraph and point has its own.

Personal Data may be transferred to outside of the State in the following cases approved by the Bureau:

1.

The State or Province to which the Personal Data is transferred shall have legislations addressing Personal Data Protection. This includes most significant provisions, measures, controls, stipulations and rules related to the protection of the privacy and confidentiality of the Date Subject's Personal Data, and his/her ability to exercise their legal rights. The State or the Province shall also have a judicial o regulatory authority imposing appropriate measures against the Controller or the Processor.

2.

If the State joins a bilateral or multilateral agreement related to the protection of Personal Data concluded with countries to which the Personal Data is transferred.

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