Understanding PIPL Personal Information Protection Law
PIPL, or the Personal Information Protection Law, is a comprehensive data protection law in China that aims to regulate the processing of personal information. It covers the collection, storage, use, processing, transfer, and disclosure of personal information by both government agencies and private organizations. PIPL requires organizations to obtain consent from individuals before collecting their personal information and to provide clear and easily accessible privacy policies. It also imposes obligations on organizations to protect personal information through security measures and grants individuals rights to access, correct, and delete their personal information. Similar to other data protection laws, PIPL includes penalties for non-compliance, such as fines and suspension of business operations.
