Webinar on “Review and Practical Implementation of the Mainland’s Personal Information Protection Law”

Webinar on “Review and Practical Implementation of the Mainland’s Personal Information Protection Law”


The Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), the first piece of legislation in the Mainland dedicated to the protection of personal information, has been effective since 1 November 2021. What are the challenges faced by enterprises and organisations since the implementation of the law? What are the implications for them in transferring data and personal information out of the Mainland?

In addition, the Measures on the Standard Contract for Cross-border Transfers of Personal Information (Measures) recently promulgated by the Cyberspace Administration of China will come into operation on 1 June 2023. How should the local enterprises and organisations which conduct business on the Mainland prepare themselves in entering into standard contracts for transferring personal information out of the Mainland?

Against this background, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) organises this webinar, at which renowned legal expert and seasoned legal practitioner in the Mainland will explain to participants the latest development and practical experience in relation to the privacy laws and regulations in the Mainland.

Legal professionals and those who have business operations in the Mainland are welcome to attend.

Enrolment is on a first-come-first-served basis.
