The Data Transfer Agreement is essential for organizations transferring data under Qatar's jurisdiction, where data protection is governed primarily by the Personal Data Privacy Protection Law (Law No. 13 of 2016). This agreement is necessary when personal or sensitive data needs to be transferred between entities, whether domestically or internationally. It becomes particularly critical when dealing with cross-border data transfers, as Qatar maintains strict requirements for international data flows. The agreement must address specific compliance requirements, including data security measures, processing limitations, and data subject rights. It's commonly used in business relationships involving outsourcing, cloud services, group company arrangements, or any situation where data needs to be shared with third parties. The document includes detailed provisions for security measures, breach notification procedures, and mechanisms for ensuring ongoing compliance with Qatar's data protection framework.
