Speedread
This December Practical Law China has expanded its coverage of IP & IT with the publication of Practice note, Data breach notification in China. This note provides an overview of the Chinese regulatory regime on data breach reporting and notification requirements, and guides businesses operating in China on how to prepare for and respond to a data security incident. This note also discusses what is commonly seen in a typical data breach notification clause under a contractual arrangement.
In addition, we have strengthened our bilingual content with the publication of 15 Chinese language standard documents and standard clauses for the arbitration and dispute resolution, employment and benefits and IP & IT practice areas (see Chinese language version).
As usual, we have published our regular monthly roundup of key items for general counsel, GC Agenda China (see Article, GC Agenda China: December 2016) and separate legal updates for important legal and practical developments in this month (see Legal updates) and have updated a number of materials in the light of recent developments (see Maintenance).
New content
IP & IT
We have published Practice note, Data breach notification in China. This note details the regulatory requirements governing data breach reporting and notification in China. It sets out different scenarios where the government or affected individuals must be notified in the event of a data breach incident involving personal information and the consequences for failure to comply with these requirements. This note describes the importance of having an effective data breach management system for businesses and provides practical tips on how to prepare for, and respond to, a data breach incident. This note also discusses what is commonly seen in a typical data breach notification clause under a contractual arrangement.
Chinese language version
China-related transactions between Chinese and foreign parties usually involve simultaneous work on English and Chinese-language drafts. To assist practitioners in handling these transactions, we continue to publish Chinese language versions of core standard documents and standard clauses. For this month, see:
