The guidelines that I helped with as a member of the review committee have been published.
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry "Guidelines for providing information and explanations that take into consideration consumer privacy in online services'
This was formulated based on the results of the IT Fusion Forum Personal Data Working Group's deliberations two years ago, and the "Standards for Enhancing Information and Explanations to Consumers" that were created through a trial of advance consultations for businesses conducted last year. It summarizes how to notify consumers when receiving their personal data, and what to do when changing the purpose or scope of the data provided.
Such efforts have begun in various countries, and international harmonization is also required, since it will be difficult for businesses to respond if there is too much fragmentation, especially in the case of online services. As part of that, we plan to submit this to ISO/IEC, and a study period will be proposed at the ISO/IEC JTC10 SC 20/WG 1 Mexico meeting starting on October 27th.
We will report on this topic separately.
