Following up on our previous emails regarding the implementation of Oman’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) under Royal Decree 6/2022, we would like to share an important update regarding the compliance timeline.
The Executive Regulations, which came into effect on February 5, 2024, outline key requirements for businesses on how personal data should be processed and managed in Oman. Initially, the deadline for compliance was February 5, 2025. However, under Ministerial Decision 6/2025, this deadline has now been extended by one more year, giving businesses until February 5, 2026, to ensure full compliance with the law.
This extension provides businesses with additional time to implement the necessary policies, processes, and systems to align with the PDPL’s requirements.
Should you need support or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Best regards,
Sherin Jacob
