Japan will enact a major Amendment to its existing privacy law, the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI). This will also affect foreign business owners, regardless of whether they have a presence in Japan, so long as goods or services are provided to Japanese users. Changes include, 1) making it mandatory to respond immediately to requests for disclosure or correction of data being held, 2) user right to request deletion of data the business doesn’t need to keep, and 3) obligation for businesses to promptly report specific types of data breaches to both the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC) and to individuals.
