Starting in June, companies operating in China must undergo a regulatory intervention when sending data abroad, thanks to the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC).<\/p>\n

The CAC announced<\/a> on Friday businesses that handle the personal information of up to 1 million people, or want to send user information of up to 100,000 individuals abroad, will need to sign a standard contract before doing so and file it with a local CAC office within 10 working days of it taking effect.<\/p>\n

Within the contract, the firms must conduct assessments on the risk of data being tampered with or misused and file a declaration of the assessment with local government administration. Other requirements of the contract include divulging scale, scope, type and sensitivity of the information and how it’s managed overseas.<\/p>\n
