Earning the CIPP/CN credential exhibits comprehensive understanding of Chinese data governance and personal information protection.

VALIDATING YOUR EXPERTISE IN CHINESE PRIVACY
Why pursue a CIPP/CN designation?
- Establish a foundational understanding of Chinese statutory and regulatory frameworks — key terms and definitions, supervisory and sectoral regulatory authorities and judicial bodies.
- Verify comprehension of the Personal Information Protection Law — concepts, scope of application and principles for processing personal information, subjects’ rights, cross border data transfers, accountability and enforcement.
- Validate application of sectoral regulations — how to comply with multiple sectors and applications, including criminal records, electronic marketing, children’s privacy, financial institutions, health care and human resources.
- Built by experts — this exam was originally developed in Simplified Chinese by native Chinese speaking subject matter experts in the region.
