The Ministry of Public Security is drafting a governmental decree on personal data protection in order to protect the legal rights and interests of individuals and organisations.

Vietnam is facing increasing cases of personal data theft, with more entities collecting, analysing and processing data for different purposes without notifying customers.
The ministry said that new services using personal information, such as online payments, e-commerce, games, cryptocurrency trading and multi-level businesses, have raised issues related to national security and social order and safety.

Along with a large number of users, the amount of data generated also increased.

The draft decree also includes concrete sanctions for violations on personal data protection.

The draft has been sent to ministries and agencies to collect ideas and opinions. It’s expected to be submitted to the Government later this year.
