China, India and Southeast Asia together comprise more than 40% of the world’s population and the region has some of the newest data privacy laws in the world. While many of these laws share similarities with other modern data privacy laws, there are also significant differences. Policymakers and regulators in the region may face specific, and sometimes unique, local circumstances in implementing them. Businesses operating in the region are often required to adapt their regulatory responses from jurisdiction to jurisdiction even while they strive to serve their customers, investors and other stakeholders efficiently and effectively.
