Under Jordan's PDPL, all organizations processing personal data of individuals residing in Jordan must obtain explicit verifiable consent, establish statutory security measures, report data breaches to the Data Protection Board within 72 hours, and comply with strict cross-border data transfer restrictions.
To avoid wrongful termination liabilities under Jordanian Labour Law, employers must follow rigorous statutory procedures: indefinite-term contracts require written notice for valid statutory cause, summary dismissal requires Article 28 compliance, and corporate restructuring requires prior Ministry of Labour approval.
