On the day that China’s Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”) comes into force, join our webinar to learn about the law in practice and how your business should respond.

The highly anticipated Chinese equivalent to GDPR, the Personal Information Protection Law will come into force on 1 November 2021, leaving companies less than one month to comply. Given the incredibly tight time frame, businesses need to move quickly. But what is the real impact of the new legislation for global businesses and what should you do? 

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”) has inspired much of the PIPL.  Therefore, some measures such as the requirement for consent when collecting personal data will be familiar. However, PIPL goes further requiring additional and separate consent for specific activities. It is critical for businesses dealing with China, especially consumer facing and digital solutions providers, to review their situation and carry out data audits. 

We would like to welcome you to the Rouse webinar on 1 November where our experts will take you through the new PIPL legislation and “must-dos” for foreign companies in China.

• Understand the unique requirements under PIPL and where GDPR compliant approaches need to be modified
• Get clarity on data localization requirements and managing the uncertainties

• How to take a risk-based prioritisation approach in responding to PIPL 

• Gain remedies and actions that could be needed to ensure compliance
