BONES OF CONTENTION UNDER THE DRAFT LAW ON PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

The Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam (MPS) has recently issued the draft of the Personal Data Protection Law to regulate matters pertaining to the safeguarding of personal data. In general, this draft offers a comprehensive legal framework and guidelines regarding the data protection matter in Vietnam and MPS’s endeavors to contribute to data safety.

However, it presents several ambiguities that require careful scrutiny and amendment in future versions. While many provisions remain consistent with Decree 13, such as the 11 rights of data subjects, privacy notices, and consent requirements, there are multiple areas that demand further clarification.
