Separate Consent for Sensitive Data
Obtain specific, informed separate consent before processing sensitive personal information including biometrics, religious beliefs, medical health data, financial accounts, location tracking, and data of minors under 14.
Cross-Border Data Transfer Compliance
For transferring personal information outside of China, complete a CAC security assessment (for CII operators or large-scale data), enter into standard contracts, or obtain personal information protection certification.
Personal Information Protection Impact Assessment
Conduct impact assessments before processing sensitive data, using personal information for automated decision-making, transferring data cross-border, or any processing that may significantly affect individuals' rights.
Incident Notification
Immediately take remedial measures upon discovering a personal information security incident. Notify the relevant regulatory authority and affected individuals, including the types of information involved, causes, and remediation measures.
