[Consultation] Providing legal advice regarding issues related to the transfer of a database concerning personal information.

Law firm Veat provided legal advice regarding personal information databases for a personal information related database to a client company A.

Company A maintains the personal information database under entrustment to Company B, which it wants to form a business alliance with Company C. In this situation, Company C requested a question about whether there would be legal risks if the personal information related database was transferred to Company C.

Therefore, Veat reviewed the legal risks that could arise between Company B and Company C, considering that even though Company A currently maintains the personal information database, under the “Personal Information Protection Act,” Company B is the data processor as the controller, and then conducted a review of legal risks that could also affect the trustee Company A, which stemmed from this.

Through in-depth review, Veat identified that the actual data processor, Company B, would entrust the personal information related database to Company C without the consent of the personal information subject, and provided a solution to minimize legal risks by identifying the liability of the trustee Company A regarding the personal information subject.

Law firm Veat strives to provide the best legal advice to clients by conducting in-depth legal review for each case. If you need a personal information related legal consultation, please contact Law firm Veat.

Thank you.
