APEC Privacy Principles

The APEC Privacy Principles are guidelines developed by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to promote data protection and privacy across member countries. These principles emphasize the importance of protecting personal information by ensuring that it is collected and used responsibly. Key concepts include notifying individuals about data collection, obtaining consent, ensuring data accuracy, providing security against breaches, and allowing individuals to access and correct their information. The aim is to build trust in cross-border data flows, facilitating trade and economic growth while respecting individuals' privacy rights.
