PDPL compliance for a SaaS
Personal Data Protection Law (Saudi Arabia). This page applies it to one kind of product (SaaS), 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 a SaaS typically processes
- account creation and authentication
- subscription billing through a payment processor
- product analytics and session tracking
- transactional and marketing email
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 a SaaS 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
Cookies and trackers
Nothing non-essential may load before the visitor agrees. Analytics and marketing scripts must be blocked until then — a banner that only informs is not enough.
