Message from the Co-chairs

Dear AMCHAM Members

The Korea Communications Commission ('KCC'), Financial Services Commission ('FSC'), and Ministry of the Interior and Safety ('MOIS') published, on 30 March 2020, a proposal on amendments to the enforcement decrees of the Data 3 Act ('the Amended Enforcement Decree'). The Amended Enforcement Decree clarifies the revisions to the Enforcement Decree of the Personal Information Protection Act 2011 ('PIPA') such as, the definition of personal information, sensitive data to include a wider definition for biometric and ethnicity data within its definition, and new obligations for data processors, including the implementation of internal policies and data subject access rights. The Amended Enforcement Decree also highlights the obligations for pseudonimised information and measures required for the use of such pseudonimised information, including a Data Privacy Impact Assessment ('DPIA') when transferring such information.

AMCHAM Korea will be hosting a web seminar to address the significance of the Data 3 Act amendments and its application to businesses, particularly pertaining to the PIPA. Please join us in what should be an informative and timely session that will provide AMCHAM members a general understanding of the key changes in the Data 3 Act.
