China passed a law Friday designed to protect citizens’ data privacy and restrict collection of personal information.
The Personal Information Protection Law, approved by China’s National People’s Congress, forces companies collecting personal data to obtain consent from users, state-run news agency Xinhua reported. The law also allows users to opt out of marketing strategies that use their personal information and shuts down apps that illegally process data.
