The Saudi Privacy Policy Dataset
This paper introduces the Saudi Privacy Policy Dataset, a diverse compilation
of Arabic privacy policies from various sectors in Saudi Arabia, annotated
according to the 10 principles of the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL); the
PDPL was established to be compatible with General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR); one of the most comprehensive data regulations worldwide. Data were
collected from multiple sources, including the Saudi Central Bank, the Saudi
Arabia National United Platform, the Council of Health Insurance, and general
websites using Google and Wikipedia. The final dataset includes 1,000 websites
belonging to 7 sectors, 4,638 lines of text, 775,370 tokens, and a corpus size
of 8,353 KB. The annotated dataset offers significant reuse potential for
assessing privacy policy compliance, benchmarking privacy practices across
industries, and developing automated tools for monitoring adherence to data
protection regulations. By providing a comprehensive and annotated dataset of
privacy policies, this paper aims to facilitate further research and
development in the areas of privacy policy analysis, natural language
processing, and machine learning applications related to privacy and data
protection, while also serving as an essential resource for researchers,
policymakers, and industry professionals interested in understanding and
promoting compliance with privacy regulations in Saudi Arabia.
