South Korea has a general law and several special laws that cover data protection and individuals' privacy. South Korea's data protection regime is considered one of the strictest data protection regimes owing to its notification requirements, opt-in consent, extensive data subject rights, mandatory data breach notifications, and heavy sanctions in case of non-compliance. South Korea's comprehensive central data protection law is the Personal Information Protection Act 2011 (as amended in 2020) (the "PIPA") that regulates the collection and processing of personal information. The 2020 amendment to PIPA has made the Personal Information Protection Commission ( the "PIPC"), the central administrative agency that enforces the PIPA and imposes administrative fines, sanctions, and corrective orders.

The PIPA applies to South Korean companies and companies established abroad that process personal information in South Korea.
