PDPL compliance for an AI writing tool
Personal Data Protection Law (Saudi Arabia). This page applies it to one kind of product (AI writing tool), so you get the obligations that are actually yours instead of a summary of the whole statute.
Does it apply to you?
Processing personal data of people in Saudi Arabia, including by entities outside the Kingdom.
What an AI writing tool typically processes
- user text sent to a model provider for completion
- drafts and history stored per account
- usage metering for billing
Each of these is processing you have to disclose. Adding an SDK later adds to this list — which is why a policy written once goes stale.
Documents you need
The intersection of what PDPL requires and what an AI writing tool actually does:
- Privacy policy
Rights you must honour
PDPL gives people in Saudi Arabia the right to:
- Access a copy of their data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Have their data deleted
- Withdraw consent at any time
