Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Middle East and North Africa

The data protection regulatory landscape across the Middle East and North Africa region is fast evolving. Navigating this regulatory minefield is becoming increasing relevant and challenging for in-house counsel across the region. The ACC Middle East has planned a series of webinars to introduce members to the subject of privacy and data protection to assist them in preparing to support their internal clients with appropriate guidance. 

In this session, we will hold a detailed discussion on the state of data protection in the Middle East, with focus on a number of countries such as the UAE, other gulf countries and Egypt. This review will be compared with other systems in place, such as the European Union GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act and others. The panel will also discuss whether a uniform international standard is taking shape, amongst all of these developments.

•    Nasser Ali Khasawneh – Partner and global co-head of technology media and telecoms sector
