On 25^th May 2018, the European Union (EU) implemented its General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), meaning companies that collect data on citizens in European Union countries need to comply with strict new rules around protecting customer data.

At home, China’s Personal Information Protection Specification took effect on 1^st May 2018, providing the first concrete guidelines on the data protection provisions outlined under China’s ambitious Cybersecurity Law.

For multinational companies in China, as most of them have European customers, it is important to ensure that marketing departments are compliant with regulations both in China and the European Union, especially with regards to dealing with customer data, conducting email marketing, direct marketing and privacy policy.

The European Chamber Marcom Forum is delighted to invite Sherry Gong, Counsel at Hogan Lovells International LLP, to discuss the influence of GDPR and China’s Personal Information Protection Specification on the marketing practices of European companies in China. The presentation will be followed by a short discussion and Q&A session.
