Seminar Details

The primary focus of this seminar is to address the crucial amendments to the Personal Information Protection Law, which were established in response to the second periodic review conducted three years after the law's inception. The significant revisions were enacted into law on July 10, 2026, and officially announced on July 17, 2026.

The seminar will cover:
1. Promotion of Appropriate Data Utilization: This includes the development of statistical information and other relevant data usage.
2. Regulatory Adaptation to Risks: Discussions will focus on handling personal information of individuals under 16 years old and other pertinent data management protocols pertaining to vendors.
3. Prevention of Improper Utilization: The handling of personally identifiable information that can be linked back to individuals will be scrutinized.
4. Ensuring Compliance Effectiveness: This segment will explore mandates such as penalty compliance orders.

Furthermore, there will be an examination of the recently introduced legislation on the advancement of digital administration and other trends related to personal information protection.

The legislative changes will impose far-reaching impacts on private sector operators, necessitating their preparation in anticipation of the phased rollout of decrees, regulations, guidelines, Q&A, and administrative reports leading up to the enforcement of these amendments by spring to July 2028.

Participants can expect:

• - A comprehensive analysis of the revisions to the Personal Information Protection Law and digital administration laws.
• - Practical insights into how these changes will affect business operations and data handling practices.
