On November 1, 2021, China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) takes effect. Similar in principle to the GDPR, this law, in concert with China’s other data and cybersecurity laws, will govern the collection, processing and cross-border transfer of the “personal information” of individuals in Mainland China. Its extraterritorial application extends to various college and university operations, such as the recruitment of prospective applicants, the enrollment of Chinese students, the delivery of online programs, and the engagement in international collaborations with Chinese partners.

Please join us for a complimentary, 45-minute Briefing with NACUA member Xinning Shirley Liu, President, XL Law & Consulting P.A., and Matthew Nappi, Chief Information Security Officer at Stony Brook University, where they will provide an overview of the new law and discuss its implications on global activities, cross-border research, and information security.
