Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL)

China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL)

This information is for University of Pittsburgh, staff, researchers, and administrators whose responsibilities might touch the personal information of people in Mainland China—whether through academic, research, administrative, or technical activities. Because China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) can apply even when our work occurs outside China, it is important to understand when the law may affect your programs or services. PIPL is different than some international privacy laws because it can expose both the institution and you personally as an individual to potential risk.
