Cross-border data transfer under the Chinese Personal Information Protection Law, the GDPR, and Swiss Data Protection Law

On November 1, 2021, the Chinese Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) entered into force, introducing new rules for the cross-border transfer of personal information. Data transfer abroad is strictly regulated under the GDPR and the Swiss Data Protection Act.
