How Tech Companies’ HR Practice May Be Impacted by Recent Data Protection Legal Developments in China

As the data protection regime in China continues to evolve, so do the individual privacy rights of employees. Some of the recent legal developments in China regarding data protection may significantly impact the human resources (HR) practices of tech companies in the country.

Join us as we discuss recent cases—e.g., an employer’s attempted use of data collected from employer-issued devices in labor arbitration proceedings—and the recently issued standard contractual clauses for the cross-border transfer of personal information. Employers in China will need to put a mechanism in place for the outbound transfer of employees' data before the designated deadline to ensure compliance.
