Answer: Many businesses now have close communication with offshore customers, suppliers or parent companies. The manager of a business may talk to the parent company about an employee who is ill and calls in sick, or he may report a client’s personal issue. This potentially involves the cross-border provision of personal information. The Personal Information Protection Act requires that companies in China should follow one of the three pathways when providing personal information outside of China.
Answer: The “Personal Information Protection Act” (“the Act”) fills the legislative gap in China’s personal information protection. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enacted by the European Union in 2018, aims to protect personal information security, privacy, and dignity. The first article of China’s “Information Protection Law” specifies that the purpose of the Act is to safeguard the rights and interests of personal information, regulate personal information processing activities, and promote the reasonable utilization of personal information.
