EU keeps GDPR adequacy decision for South Korea

South Korea\'s Personal Information Protection Commission said on Thursday the European Commission has decided to keep its GDPR adequacy decision for South Korea. The decision follows the first review since the EU granted South Korea adequacy status in December 2021, the commission said. It said the European Commission assessed South Korea\'s privacy laws, oversight system and public-sector access to personal data, and concluded protections remain at a high level.
