# CHINA

    So the government has called for the following:

    * Those that hold personal data must receive explicit
      consent to divulge that data to third parties.
    * There are specific restrictions “during the
      collection, processing, use, transfer and maintenance
      of personal information.”
    * Personal data cannot be exported unless specifically
      allowed by law or government authorities.

# INDIA 

    According to the lawyers, the new privacy rules seem to
    apply to any personal information, and not just that of
    Indian nationals. Some of the requirements are rigorous:

    * A company must get written consent by letter, fax, or
      email for the collection of data.
    * People can opt out at a later time and withdraw their
      consent.
    * There are significant restrictions on disclosing
      personal data to third parties.
    * When a person has given consent for the transfer of
      data, or it’s necessary by contract, a company can
      only send the data to an organization that provides
      the say level of security as the Indian regulations.
    * People have the right to review their data and to
      correct it.
