TIME: 16:00 - 17:00 (Shanghai, China)

Rules effective on March 22, 2024, finally give employers guidance on how they can transfer employee-related data outside of China.

What are the new rules and how are multinational employers adapting? And how do the new requirements fit within China’s Personal Information Protection Law and China’s overall data security legal framework?

 

Topics to be discussed in this event include:

  • Exceptions that permit employers to avoid having to complete assessments, certifications, or standard contract procedures

  • The scope of “necessary for cross-border human resource management” exception

  • Applicability of the rules to personal information of contractors, job applicants, and relatives of employees

  • Required procedures for processing and exporting HR data

  • Treatment of “sensitive” personal data

  • Consent requirements for personal data export

  • How to complete a personal data protection impact assessment (PIA)

  • Integration of China personal data policies with APAC and global policies

  • Employer penalties for non-compliance and expected enforcement

 

Zoe Tao, APAC Asia Pacific legal counsel of The Lincoln Electric Company, and Leslie Kong, Sr. Data Compliance Counsel, APAC, of The Continental Group will join JunHe employment group’s Jane Lu and Jeffrey Wilson to discuss the practical and legal aspects of how employers are adapting to the new rules. 

This event is offered on-site, is complimentary, and is intended for senior HR, legal, and management staff. The event will be conducted in English.
