How Are Data Classified in China?
Chinese data protection laws require accurate data assessment and classification to ensure the secure and lawful handling of sensitive information. Data is categorized into specific classes, including:
- Core National Data
- Critical Data
- General Data
- Personal Information
- Sensitive Personal Information
- Industry-Specific Data
These classifications determine how data can be collected, stored, processed, transferred, and shared in compliance with legal frameworks like the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) and the Data Security Law (DSL).
