Analysis
Two separate guidelines have recently been issued in relation to matters of data protection and privacy in the mobile and online environments.
Although these are not directly applicable to businesses operating in the Middle East, respecting the privacy of customers in accordance with industry best practice is likely to enhance trust and may go some way toward ‘future proofing' businesses in the event that international trends relating to data protection and privacy are picked up by law makers in this region.
