📋 Request Free PIPL Gap AnalysisChina PIPL compliance refers to the full alignment of an organization's personal information handling practices with the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China. Effective since November 2021, the PIPL is China's comprehensive data privacy regulation governing the collection, storage, use, transfer, and deletion of personal information. It applies extraterritorially to any organization processing the personal data of individuals located in China — even if the company has no physical presence in the country. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) enforces the law with penalties up to 50 million RMB or 5% of annual revenue.
Our PIPL compliance service for foreign companies bridges the gap between your existing GDPR or CCPA frameworks and China's unique legal requirements. We provide personal information protection impact assessments, draft Chinese-language privacy policies, establish consent management mechanisms, and prepare CAC security assessment submissions for cross-border data flows. With TEK China, you can achieve demonstrable PIPL compliance without establishing a local entity.
We conduct a thorough PIPL data audit to map all personal information flows, identify data subjects (consumers, employees, website visitors), and assess gaps between your current privacy practices and PIPL requirements.
We establish the appropriate legal basis for processing under PIPL, design consent management pop-ups and privacy notice templates in Chinese, and implement separate consent mechanisms for sensitive personal information.
For data exports, we prepare the CAC security assessment application or standard contract filing, conduct a data export risk assessment, and liaise with Chinese regulatory authorities on your behalf.
We deliver a complete PIPL compliance manual including internal policies, data subject request procedures, data breach response plans, and an annual review schedule to maintain ongoing compliance.
The Personal Information Protection Law applies broadly. Any foreign enterprise with the following connections to China should urgently assess its PIPL obligations:
If your organization processes any data relating to individuals in China, our PIPL compliance service provides a structured path to regulatory adherence and risk reduction.
Engaging our China PIPL compliance service delivers a comprehensive set of documentation and implementation tools:
A typical PIPL compliance project for a foreign SME takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on data processing complexity and the number of systems involved. Organizations with extensive China operations or large employee datasets may require additional time for comprehensive data mapping.
Investment factors include the scope of data flows, the need for a CAC security assessment filing, and the volume of privacy documentation required. We provide a fixed-price proposal after an initial scoping call — transparent pricing with no hidden costs.
