The Kingdom of Bahrain has become the second country in the GCC to issue a national
data protection law. Organisations operating in Bahrain or processing the personal
data of consumers from Bahrain should be aware of the new obligations and sanctions
in the legislation that became effective in 2019.
The Law aims to be consistent with international practices in the protection of personal data and to
enhance the attractiveness of Bahrain to foreign investors by providing a clear framework for processing
personal data.
The Law will apply to any processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means or the manual
processing of personal data that will form part of an organised filing system. The Law is stated to apply to
individual residents or workers in Bahrain, locally established businesses and any businesses outside
Bahrain that process personal data "by means available within the Kingdom" other than for purely
transitory purposes.

This is a practical event focused on exercises, activities and case studies. The Seminar will be led by industry experts and will largely focus on a quick overview of the current Law. This will be followed by highly interactive sessions on practical issues faced by organisations. An extensive discussion of the Law will provide insights and the Q & A session will address major questions of the delegates.
IS THIS SEMINAR ONLY IN ENGLISH?
Yes. Our Speaker faculty are subject matter experts who will deliver this event in English and can also clarify questions in Arabic.
