Keeping up with the international trend of privacy protection,
China is pushing forward its legislation to encourage the healthy
development of its digital economy.
The country has been steadily reforming its legislation on
privacy protection. As part of the rectification actions against
the excessive collection of personal data and the illegal use
thereof conducted by some mobile apps, the Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology plans to officially release the
"Interim Provisions on the Management of Personal
Information Protection for Mobile Internet Applications"
(draft for comment).
The deadline for the submission of comments will be announced
upon the official release of the draft.
