Abstract

This study aimed to define the conceptual framework for the processing of personal data, identify the legality of its processing procedures, and detail the legal conditions necessary for this processing in accordance with federal law and comparative legislation. The study also dealt with the rights of the owner of personal data, the obligations of those who processed it, in addition to clarifying the role and responsibilities of data protection centers, such as the Emirates Data Office. To achieve these objectives, the comparative analytical approach was used, where the texts contained in Federal Legislation No. (45) of 2021 on the protection of personal data were analyzed, in addition to comparing these texts with other comparative legislation that included independent texts or included in its existing legislation related to this subject, with reference to some international legislation such as European Regulation No. (679) issued by the European Union in 2016.

The study found many results, the most important of which was that the legislation includes a comprehensive assessment of the impact of data processing on the protection and privacy of individuals, which helps in identifying risks and taking appropriate measures to reduce them. A prior authorization or authorization must also be obtained from the competent administrative authority to carry out the processing of personal data, which ensures the control and official approval of data-related activities. The study recommended that future policies and legislation include clear frameworks for the protection of legal entities' data, which enhance transparency and prevent manipulation or illegal use of associated data. This expansion of protection will contribute to enhancing the confidence of stakeholders and ensure comprehensive protection of all types of data in the modern digital environment.
