Casper Sek of Jingtian & Gongcheng examines new implementation guidelines for data transfers and explains how these fit into the wider context of cooperation within the Greater Bay Area, as well as how companies will benefit

Summary

  • Cross-boundary data flows are seen by the Chinese government as part of its strategy to promote closer connections between Hong Kong and mainland China
  • The new CAC and ITIB implementation guidelines are set to significantly reduce the compliance burden for companies in relevant circumstances
  • This includes the matters they will need to assess as well as the paperwork required for record filing
  • Companies can still expect rigorous enforcement, however, and should therefore ensure they are fully compliant with applicable requirements
