Data and Marketing Compliance Issues in China
This event is organised in collaboration with the Finland-China Business Association.
In mid-October 2025, Chinese authorities issued a set of regulations to improve management of the outbound transfer of personal information(《个人信息出境认证办法》), in a move to promote efficient and safe cross-border flow of personal information. The regulations takes effect on January 1, 2026, under the bigger picture of the “Chinese GDPR” – PIPL law.
This concerns multiple roles and aspects of a company’s business operations in the Chinese market, such as legal, data & IT, HR, marketing and sales activities. As MNCs or EU-headquartered branch offices in China, there are also HQ rules and EU regulations to bear in mind. On most days of the daily work, things might be OK but if any violations happen, it could be a disaster for the business and brand.
Together with other commonly seen issues in the field, including copyright of marketing materials, advertising laws and regulations, and local cultural taboos, it’s essential to have a comprehensive understanding and review of the relevant compliance issues in the Chinese market.
Key Topics:
Introductions to the laws and regulations of personal information handling and cross-border transfer from China
Copyright issues of marketing assets such as images, fonts, music, and video footage, with practical suggestions on what to do if copyright violations happen
Full compliance with the Chinese advertising law
Cultural and political taboos in local activities
Open discussion and Q&A
The event is co-organised by Nordic Friend Agency and the Finland-China Business Association.
