  • 55Th APPA Forum — Communiqué
    55th APPA Forum — Communiqué The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) of the Republic of Korea hosted the 55th Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities (APPA) Forum on 16 to 18 June 2021. A wide range of issues were discussed at the Forum in response to a rapidly changing landscape where both data protection and safe use of data have become increasingly important in the digital economy, especially in the post Covid-19 recovery. The key themes discussed at the Forum are as follows: • The new normal post Covid-19. Although effective responses to the pandemic require the use of sensitive data of individuals such as health data, appropriate safeguards must be put in place to protect personal data, including by adhering to key data protection principles such as data minimisation, use limitation, data security and transparency. Public authorities processing vaccine passports and vaccine certificates that include individuals’ health data must also follow such principles. Discussion should also continue to prepare for the new normal post Covid-19. Page 1 of 12 • Use of emerging technologies and engagement with industry. APPA members shared the view that engagement with industry is essential to ensuring the protection of personal data in a rapid transition to digital economy that comes along with the increased use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital identity and biometrics. Joint efforts will also continue across the Asia Pacific Region to ensure that the use of new technologies is in compliance with key data protection principles and to engage with controllers to encourage them to adapt to a changing regulatory landscape by supporting policy making and issuing guidelines.
