Shanghai Guides Companies to Use Negative List for Cross-Border Data Transfers Through Filing Process

36Kr learned that the Shanghai Municipal Cyberspace Administration and the Shanghai Municipal Data Bureau have issued a notice on the "Several Measures on Promoting High-Level Opening-Up and Facilitating Cross-Border Data Flows in Shanghai." The measures coordinate the implementation of national-level data export security management requirements and local facilitation measures, systematically promoting orderly alignment and coordinated implementation of systems including data export security assessments, standard contract filings for personal information export, personal information export certification, and the negative list for data export. They improve cross-departmental collaborative service mechanisms, promote information sharing and process coordination, and guide enterprises to carry out cross-border data activities in a lawful, compliant, efficient and convenient manner. Within the framework of the national data export security management system, the measures advance the implementation of the data export negative list. They also improve cross-departmental collaborative filing procedures and guide enterprises to use the negative list in data export activities through the filing process. The measures will expand the scope of industries and sectors covered and dynamically update the negative list.
