Navigating APAC Data Privacy Laws: Compliance & Challenges

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has a diverse and rapidly evolving data privacy landscape, with countries implementing and updating regulations to protect personal data and regulate cross-border transfers. As data privacy regulations continue to evolve across this wide region, organizations must stay informed and agile to ensure compliance.

Our leading privacy and legal experts will discuss APAC’s key regulations, enforcement trends, and compliance strategies: China’s PIPL, India’s DPDPA, Japan’s APPI, Singapore’s PDPA, Australia’s Privacy Act, South Korea’s PIPA Thailand’s PDPA, and more.

Moreover, the launch of the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) on June 2, 2025, introduces significant implications for companies based in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, particularly those engaged in cross-border data transfers. Indeed, it offers APAC companies a structured and internationally recognized approach to managing cross-border data transfers, enhancing their global competitiveness and compliance posture.

Whether you operate in APAC or work with global data flows, this session will provide the essential knowledge you need to navigate compliance confidently.

This webinar will review:

• An overview of major APAC privacy laws
• The consequences of the recent Global CBPR launch on your business
• Compliance challenges and enforcement trends
• Practical steps to mitigate risks and align with regional requirements

This webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.
