The China Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) is the new data privacy law in China, targeted at personal information protection and addressing the problems with personal data leakage.
On 13th October 2020, the first PIPL draft was submitted to the National People's Congress and later published and opened for public comment on 21st October 2020.
The PIPL is not only applicable to organisations and individuals who process personally identifiable information (PII) in China but also to those who process data of China citizens' PII outside of China.
