APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Data Privacy Framework

The APEC Data Privacy Framework is a set of guidelines developed by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group to help businesses and governments manage personal data responsibly. It aims to balance the free flow of information across borders with the protection of individuals' privacy. The framework promotes common principles, such as preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that personal information is used only for its intended purpose. By fostering trust and cooperation among member economies, the framework helps to enhance consumer confidence while supporting economic growth in the region.
