South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), enacted in 2011, is a comprehensive law that governs the collection, and management of personal data by both public and private organizations. The law requires entities to obtain consent from individuals before handling their personal data and to implement strict security measures to protect it. PIPA also grants individuals rights over their data, such as access, revision, and deletion, and imposes penalties on organizations that fail to comply with its provisions, including mandatory reporting of data breaches to both authorities and affected individuals.
