What Bahrain Personal Data Protection Law (Legislative Decree No. 30 of 2018) - Data Subject Rights: Notification/Access, Objection and Rectification/Blocking/Erasure requires
Bahrain's Personal Data Protection Law (Legislative Decree No. 30 of 2018) grants data subjects rights set out in Articles 18 to 23. Article 18 gives the right to be notified, on request and free of charge, whether their personal data is being processed (response within 15 working days). Article 19 requires controllers to inform data subjects of the right to object to direct marketing. Article 20 governs the controller's handling of a direct-marketing objection (response within 10 working days). Article 21 lets a data subject require the controller to cease processing causing unwarranted substantial material or moral damage (response within 10 working days). Article 22 allows a data subject to object to decisions based solely on automated processing (e.g. in employment, financial or credibility assessments). Article 23 gives the right to request rectification, blocking and erasure of data (response within 10 working days). The law does NOT provide a GDPR-style right to data portability. Enforcement is by the Personal Data Protection Authority (established under Article 27).
