California flag

The Dubai International Financial Centre announced the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) passes muster, allowing compliant California businesses to be the first permitted to transfer data with the DIFC without additional contractual measures.

The adequacy decision falls in line with the DIFC’s commitment to strengthen its knowledge of cross-border enforcement best practices regarding data protection, it said in a press release Wednesday. The DIFC serves as a financial hub for companies operating throughout the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

The DIFC praised enhancements to the protections under the CCPA approved as part of the California Privacy Rights Act.
