Beijing, China
China issued the Regulation on Security Management of Automotive Data (for Trial Implementation), shortly the Auto Data Regulation, which will come into effect from October 1, 2021.
The Auto Data Regulation is brought in to change the supervisory landscape of the auto industry concerning the processing of automobile data. Automotive data includes personal information data and important data involved in the process of automobile design, production, sales, use, operation and maintenance. This would impact the operation of multinational enterprises, new energy vehicles, unmanned and autonomous driving.
If this data needs to be sent overseas, it has to go through the security assessment by the State Cyberspace Administration. MNCs with operations involving data that is transferred from within China will now have to relocate parts of their data processing into China.
Companies have to adhere to classified protection which would help plug loopholes and tackle vulnerabilities in network systems.
The implementation of the Regulation will make collecting automotive data more difficult as the preference is for the automotive data processor to adhere to the principles of in-car handling, non-collection by default, accuracy within application and desensitization treatment.
Finally, the automotive data processor should carry out a risk assessment in accordance with the regulations and submit risk assessment reports to the government.
