[Personal Information] Guidelines for Protecting Automatically Processed Personal Information

The Ministry of Public Safety and Administration has distributed the “Guideline for Protecting Personal Information in Automated Processing” through its comprehensive personal information protection portal site.

This guideline applies the Privacy by Design concept to ensure that the possibility of personal information infringement is sufficiently considered from the planning stage when personal information is automatically processed through Internet of Things devices (IoT), etc., and provides considerations for each step of personal information processing based on examples.

Law firm Veat, appointed as a legal advisor to the Personal Information Protection Committee in March 2020, has established a personal information protection team led by partner attorneys Baek Seung-cheol and Jo Eun-byeol , and is performing advisory services related to personal information protection and personal information protection system establishment consulting, etc., to ensure compliance with personal information-related laws, including this guideline.
