#+title: APPI (Act on the Protection of Personal Information — Japan)
#+filetags: :passepartout:compliance:framework:appi:
Japan's comprehensive privacy law (amended 2022, fully effective 2023).
Applies to any business handling personal information of Japanese residents.
Key requirements: consent, purpose specification, data retention limits,
cross-border transfer restrictions (opt-in required), mandatory breach reporting,
data subject access/deletion rights, pseudonymized/anonymized data provisions.
Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC) enforces.
Penalties: Up to 100M JPY (~$700K) for violations; criminal penalties up to
1 year imprisonment. Orders to suspend data processing or delete data.
Who must comply: All businesses handling personal information of Japanese
residents. Extraterritorial — applies to non-Japanese businesses targeting
Japanese residents.
Why it matters: APPI's cross-border transfer restrictions require fine-grained
control over which data leaves Japan. The gate stack can encode "this data has
APPI cross-border consent flag = false → block egress." First-mover advantage
is moderate — few non-Japanese vendors target APPI specifically, and the 2022 report. First-mover advantage is moderate — few non-Japanese vendors target APPI specifically, and the 2022 amendments created a market for dedicated APPI tooling.
