The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) invited the public and relevant stakeholders to participate in a public consultation on the Guidelines for Binding Common Rules (BCR) for Personal Data Transfer. The consultation is accessible through the National Competitiveness Center"s Public Consultation Platform (Istitlaa) and is open until August 30. The guidelines outline a standardized process for governing the transfer of personal data to countries or international organizations that lack adequate data protection safeguards. The aim is to establish a mechanism ensuring that personal data transferred outside Saudi Arabia receives protection equivalent to that required by the Personal Data Protection Law and its Implementing Regulations. — SPA
