No ratings
Presented at GlobalPrivacySummit 2019 by
Data protection regulations in Mainland China are fast developing, and companies doing business in Mainland China are catching up with the multitude of new guidelines and regulations. Of concern are regulations relating to cross-border data flow and data sharing. On the other hand, Hong Kong's data protection law has been in place for over 20 years whilst the cross-border data transfer provisions are not yet effective. Are changes expected soon? Should companies doing business in Mainland China and Hong Kong be at all concerned about cross-border data transfer? In our panel discussion, we will gather together speakers including an experienced lawyer in the field in Hong Kong, a Chinese academic, the Chief Privacy Officer of a global e-commerce platform, and a legal expert who has practiced data protection law in the region for 20 years. It will be an interactive panel discussion with questions and answers.What you’ll take away:China is not really Russia when it comes to data localizationData localization in Mainland China is not just about personal dataThere are substantive regulatory guidelines available to guide foreign businesses on cross-border data transfer
