The draft JIS X 9252 standard is based on ISO/IEC 29184, Online privacy notice and consent.1 It describes how to write the documents known in Japan as “privacy policies” that inform individuals about the collection and use of personal information and related data (notices), and, when consent is used as the basis for processing, how to obtain consent based on those notices. The provisions concerning how notices are written and presented should be used even when consent is not the basis for processing.

The development of ISO/IEC 29184 began with guidelines from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as the source document (a document containing no “shall” requirements). In response to comments from the EDPB, many instances of “should” were changed to “shall,” strengthening the standard. It has now been translated into Japanese and is moving toward publication as a JIS standard.

I would like to link directly to the notice page, but I have been unable to do so. You can access the list of notices here → https://www.jisc.go.jp/app/jis/general/GnrOpinionReceptionNoticeList?show

On that page, search for “JIS X 9252.” You will then be taken to a page that looks like this.

From there, you can download the draft and submit comments.

This standard has taken a considerable amount of time to develop. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the secretariat staff at 2, the staff of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the committee members, and the staff of the Japanese Standards Association for all their hard work.
