Does Japan have EU adequacy?

Yes. Japan and the EU have a mutual adequacy arrangement, allowing personal data to flow between them with agreed safeguards in place.

When is consent required under Japan's APPI?

Consent is required for handling sensitive data and for transferring personal data to third parties, with some exceptions. Much ordinary processing relies on notice and purpose specification rather than broad opt-in.

Japan's APPI, overseen by the PPC, follows a notice and purpose specification model rather than broad opt-in for all processing. Consent is required for sensitive data and for transferring personal data to third parties, with some exceptions. Japan holds mutual EU adequacy, so data flows both ways with safeguards. A 2022 amendment strengthened breach reporting, individual rights, and rules on pseudonymised data and cross border transfers, which now require informing individuals about the destination country's regime. Privacy notices in Japanese are expected. For cookies, Japan introduced rules on user-related information that require confirmation when certain identifiers are shared with third parties.
