Data
What Data May We Collect?
Because for many users in personal status cases the problem is not only the lack of information, but not knowing where to start: do they start from the case type? From the city? From the procedural guide? From the form? Or from direct contact? That is why the portal came to organize this path and reduce distraction.

Legal Basis
What Is the Legal Basis for Processing Data?
Personal data is processed within the legal frameworks in force in Saudi Arabia, and to the extent necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
In cases where the user provides their data voluntarily through forms or contact tools, the legal basis for processing may be consent to this use within the stated purpose. The official policy of the privacy platform explains that consent is used as a basis for processing data obtained voluntarily from the data subject, except in cases required by regulations.
When operationally or legally needed, processing may also be based on legal, regulatory or operational requirements connected to operating the site, keeping records or protecting rights, as permitted by regulations.
Data Sharing
When May We Share or Disclose Data?
As a rule, data is not disclosed to other parties except within the limits of a legitimate need connected to the purpose, or where there is a legal justification or the consent of the data subject, depending on the case.
When there is the consent of the data subject
When there is a legal or regulatory obligation
When there is a technical need connected to operating the site or its technical infrastructure
When needed to protect rights or deal with misuse or a security incident
Only within what is necessary, not in an open-ended or excessive way
The official policy of the Saudi privacy platform states that data is not disclosed to other parties unless consent is obtained or there is a legal justification under the relevant conditions.
Data protection
How Do We Protect and Store Data?
Data is kept in an environment suitable for the nature of the site and the services used in it, with reasonable administrative, organizational and technical measures taken to limit unauthorized access, loss, alteration or unlawful disclosure.

Restricting access as needed

Using technical layers of protection for the site
Periodic review of settings and controls when needed

Retention Period
Data Retention and Destruction Period
Personal data is kept as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, or to meet necessary operational, legal or documentation requirements, and is then deleted, destroyed or anonymized when the need for it ends.
Saudi compliance guidance states the principle of not keeping data longer than needed, and that data is destroyed when the purpose of collection is completed, in a secure way that prevents access to it or its recovery.
