Abstract
This article examines the diffusion effect of the General Data Protection Regulation (gdpr) beyond the European Union borders, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The article explores how the Brussels Effect (as a concept and observation) can explain non-EU jurisdictions' voluntary adoption of gdpr standards. This article seeks to develop a corpus of reasoning that could be used to determine when and to what extent the provisions in local data protection statutes need to be interpreted and applied in conformity with gdpr-related legal sources.
