Singapore and Japan team up to ease cross-border data transfers

The two will also strengthen data breach investigations.

Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) and Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC Japan) have partnered to strengthen collaboration on cross-border data transfers.

Signing a Memorandum of Collaboration (MOC), the two also agreed to strengthen data breach investigations, and facilitate information sharing on artificial intelligence and privacy-enhancing technologies.

The MOC builds on the memoranda of understanding signed earlier this year with Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission and Hong Kong's Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
