PIPC to take third-round applications for prior consultations for data portability agents

South Korea\'s Personal Information Protection Commission will accept third-round applications from Aug. 11 to 31 for support in prior consultations for agents that can request personal data transfers on behalf of individuals. The commission said the round aims to identify additional demand after pilot operations found scraping needs across sectors. Eligible applicants include small businesses and firms without mydata qualifications. The commission plans consultations to support safer transitions from scraping and allow temporary continuation during talks.
