The implementation of Decree 13/2023/ND-CP on personal data protection has revealed a need for a specialized law on personal data protection to ensure consistency with domestic laws as well as compatibility with international laws and practices. To meet these requirements, the Ministry of Public Security has developed a Proposal for a Law on Personal Data Protection with a number of notable points as follows:
(i) Regulations on subjects of application and definition of personal data;
(ii) Regulations on the principle of personal data protection;
(iii) Regulations on personal data protection in labor monitoring and recruitment, social media services, and communication services;
(iv) Transfer of personal data abroad.
