Data protection laws across the Asia-Pacific region continue to evolve rapidly, creating increasing complexity for organizations operating across multiple markets. To help businesses stay ahead of these developments, we are pleased to introduce the third edition of our Asia Pacific Privacy Legislation Tracker.

This latest edition provides a clear, comparative overview of privacy frameworks across twelve key APAC jurisdictions:

Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Highlights include:

  • Built for action: use the tracker to benchmark obligations, prioritize remediation, and support market-entry planning.
  • Cross-border transfers & localization: quick-read guidance on data transfer requirements and data residency rules, with practical insights for in-house teams.
  • Side-by-side clarity: an at-a-glance comparison of scope and legal bases, DPO/registration requirements, breach-notification triggers and timelines, data-subject rights, and children’s data thresholds.
  • What’s changed: a snapshot of recent regulatory developments and enforcement trends — including updates in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, which are new additions in this edition.
