Singapore and Japan team up to ease cross-border data transfers

The two will also strengthen data breach investigations.

Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) and Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC Japan) have partnered to strengthen collaboration on cross-border data transfers.

Signing a Memorandum of Collaboration (MOC), the two also agreed to strengthen data breach investigations, and facilitate information sharing on artificial intelligence and privacy-enhancing technologies.

The MOC builds on the memoranda of understanding signed earlier this year with Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission and Hong Kong's Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
