DIFC Academy

In an era of increased globalization and rapid advances in technology, information has never been more readily available and transmittable. Businesses and in particular, banking and financial organizations, are increasingly processing and exchanging individual data electronically and across borders. It is crucial that individuals’ right to privacy is protected by establishing effective data protection laws and enforcing legal safeguards to secure and protect personal data and its processing. The DIFC Academy in collaboration with Legal Affairs at DIFC Authority presents a webinar on DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020 that will focus on the rules and regulations regarding the collection, handling and use of personal data in DIFC.
