Background info about this course

The Protection of Personal Information Act was initially passed in 2005. This was a significant shift in how personal information is protected. Originally, private business operators were monitored by various ministries and agencies. When breaches occurred, victims would seek restitution via tort law.

The Japan Act on the Protection of Personal Information, also known as APPI, is an act designed to protect the personal information of Japanese citizens. Anyone who receives the personal data of Japanese citizens must be in full compliance with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information or risk legal action.
