The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) announced the issuance of a public consultation paper on its proposed new Data Protection Regulations 2020. The New Regulations will repeal the current Data Protection Regulations 2015 and aim to bring the ADGM closer in line with international data protection standards, notably the GDPR. According to the ADGM, the new regulations are intended to be “proportionate and business-friendly”, while achieving a high standard of personal data protection.
