CIPP/CN: Chinese Privacy training

IAPP Chinese Personal Information Protection training, aligned with CIPP/CN certification, is in-depth instruction on understanding compliance with Chinese privacy laws, most significantly the Personal Information Protection Law. The PIPL, described as one of the strictest privacy regimes on the planet, has rewritten the rules of the global privacy landscape, and its extraterritorial scope is akin to the GDPR’s.
