What This Regulation Covers
These joint CAC and Ministry of Public Security provisions establish proportionate personal information protection measures for eligible small processors and take effect on 1 September 2026.
Why It Matters
The provisions define a fewer-than-100,000-person eligibility threshold and address simplified audit, impact-assessment and selected cross-border compliance arrangements without displacing the PIPL or national data-export rules.
Source-reading Note
Confirm threshold eligibility, exclusions and the official counting method before relying on a simplification. Read the final provisions with the official 24 July 2026 Q&A.
