APEC Privacy Framework

The APEC Privacy Framework is a set of guidelines created by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group to enhance data privacy among its member economies. It aims to balance the protection of personal information with the need for free trade and economic growth. The framework promotes principles like accountability, transparency, and individual choice regarding personal data. By encouraging members to adopt consistent privacy practices, it supports cross-border data flows while safeguarding individuals’ privacy rights, fostering trust in digital transactions across the APEC region.
