About this course
For staff who handle personal data as part of their job rather than for privacy specialists. It covers the onshore UAE regime and notes where the DIFC and ADGM rules differ, because the answer depends on which one you sit under.
The breach module is a drill rather than a lecture: what to do in the first hour, who to tell, and what to write down while it is still fresh.
