Personal Data

According to Article 2(1) of Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act, it refers to a natural person's name, date of birth, ID card number, passport number, characteristics, fingerprints, marital status, family, education, occupation, medical records, and any other data that can directly or indirectly identify that person.

Violations of Taiwan's PDPA can result in fines up to NT$15 million and liability for damages in class-action lawsuits. Regulatory enforcement has intensified, and international regulations like the EU's GDPR impose strict requirements. Clients and supply chain partners now mandate personal data protection as a prerequisite for business, making non-compliance a major risk.

The primary related standard is ISO/IEC 27701 (Privacy Information Management System), which extends the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System). In terms of international regulations, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the key benchmark, especially its principles in Article 5 and the concept of "Data protection by design and by default" in Article 25.
