South Korea\'s financial authorities discussed a plan to implement limits on scraping in phases after preparing alternatives such as public MyData, aiming to reduce inconvenience for financial consumers caused by blocking by administrative bodies and the Supreme Court. The Financial Services Commission held a financial sector inspection meeting on scraping restrictions and reviewed expected impacts and response measures. Participants backed the purpose of blocking while calling for sufficient alternatives and a preparation period, and also reviewed security and internal controls used in current scraping processes.

South Korea\'s Personal Information Protection Commission expanded pre-consultation support on public data scraping to include smaller firms and companies without mydata qualifications, as the right to request personal data transfers nears rollout. The commission said scraping would not be blocked across the board from Aug. 20, and existing services can continue while public agencies and businesses move in stages to safer transfer methods.
