This research is concerned with the administrative and penal protection of the right to privacy under the United Arab Emirates (UAE) legislation, in comparison with the relevant Jordanian legislation. The purpose of this research is to clarify the concept of the right to privacy (Bennett & Raab, 2020), the important forms of violation of this right, its relation with governance (Rajaretnam, 2022), and the legal texts enacted and the amendments adopted in the respective countries in order to notice the strengths and weaknesses of these two laws and indicate opportunities for improvement. The research problem consists of the insufficient legal framework in the UAE and Jordan regarding the content and the means of the protection of this right. It is suggested that this goal is achieved by comparing the different laws adopted in these two countries. The main findings of the paper are that the UAE and Jordanian legislations need to be modified to comply with the new technologies due to the multiplicity of agencies supervising the protection of this right and the absence of a central authority. Finally, the study concludes that legislators in the UAE and Jordan should adopt measures of governance to ensure the effectiveness of the legal framework relating to this righ
