Description
Consultation closed on the second draft of the Personal Information Protection Law, which includes data portability measures
On 28 May 2021, the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress closed public consultation on the second draft of the Personal Information Protection Law for public consultation. Besides providing general rules regarding the handling and scope of personal information, the law states in Art. 45 that data subjects have the right to data portability. However, the national cybersecurity department may specify further conditions, which have to be met in order to proceed with the transfer of personal information. Together with the Data Security Law and Cybersecurity Law, the PIPL will regulate cybersecurity and data privacy protection in China.
