Use when drafting a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) compliant with UAE Federal Decree-Law 45/2021 on Personal Data Protection (UAE PDPL). Covers UAE PDPL key requirements, the separate DIFC (Law 5/2020) and ADGM (Data Protection Regulations 2021) regimes that govern free-zone entities, cross-border transfer framework (Articles 22–23), bilingual Arabic/English requirement for federal filings, and the distinction between onshore UAE, DIFC, and ADGM entity obligations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Data Processing Agreement — UAE Personal Data Protection (Federal + DIFC/ADGM)

## When to use this

The UAE data-protection landscape is **fragmented across three legal regimes**. Before drafting a DPA, identify which regime governs:

| Entity registration | Applicable law | Regulator |
|---|---|---|
| **UAE federal / onshore** (mainland + most free zones) | Federal Decree-Law 45/2021 (UAE PDPL) + implementing regulations | UAE Data Office (within UAE Digital Government Authority) |
| **DIFC** (Dubai International Financial Centre) | DIFC Data Protection Law (DIFC Law 5/2020) | DIFC Commissioner of Data Protection |
| **ADGM** (Abu Dhabi Global Market) | ADGM Data Protection Regulations 2021 | ADGM Registration Authority |

**Same entity, different regimes:** A multinational may have subsidiaries in all three. The applicable regime is determined by the entity's legal registration, not the data subject's location. A Dubai mainland company processing data about DIFC employees still uses the UAE PDPL; a DIFC-incorporated company uses DIFC Law 5/2020.

Use this skill for UAE federal / onshore entities. Use the DIFC/ADGM sections below for those regimes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/draft-dpa-uae-pdpl-sboghossian@sha256:a8bf17b94c833f95

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
