CIPP/CN certification

VALIDATING YOUR EXPERTISE IN CHINESE PRIVACY

It is essential that professionals understand how to comply with the three major laws (PIPL, DSL and CSL) that govern Chinese privacy. Earning the CIPP/CN credential exhibits comprehensive understanding of Chinese data governance and personal information protection. It also verifies the candidate’s ability to mitigate risk while adhering to Chinese legal and regulatory requirements.

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 Mandarin Chinese by native Chinese speaking subject matter experts in the region.
