Abstract:

On November 9, 2023, the European Parliament passed the Data Act. This act specifies the principles of data flow utilization and data governance in line with EU values, ensures the safe and effective flow of data elements in the European single data market, and further balances the link between personal data protection and the free flow of data. To fully release the value of data elements, further improve the standards of data security and personal information protection in the digital era, regulate the sharing and circulation of data, and ensure the orderly and safe development of the data economy, China can learn from it in the aspects such as protecting personal information rights and interests in the digital era, establishing a unified and coordinated data governance mechanism, strengthening technical interconnection and standard construction, and optimizing data security protection supervision.

Key words: Data Act, personal data protection, data flow, data security
