Guidelines for Filing Standard Contracts for Cross-Border Transfer of Personal Information
Summary
On May 30, 2023, CAC issued the first edition of its Guidelines for Filing Standard Contracts for Cross-Border Transfer of Personal Information (the “Guidelines”). The Guidelines specify that personal information processors who provide personal information overseas by entering into a standard contract with overseas recipients should file the relevant materials with the local bureau of CAC in accordance with the Guidelines. Cross-border collaborations on AI R&D activities might fall within these requirements if personal data is involved.
