Beating the Personal Data Protection Act for Direct Selling Companies
How do direct marketing companies shift from defense to offense in the Personal Data Protection Act?
Beating the Personal Data Protection Act for Direct Selling CompaniesThe Personal Data Protection Act (hereinafter referred to as the “Personal Data Act”) has been in effect since October 1st of last year. Appropriately, from the past year, we can observe the issues regarding the Personal Data Act that have specifically impacted direct selling companies. After implementing and enforcing the Personal Data Act, the Fair Trade Commission announced on April 30th of this year that “multi-level marketing companies should provide secure personal data maintenance and, after business termination, process such data in accordance with regulations.”
The next focus, besides shielding against the Act, should be on how managers of direct selling companies can utilize the Personal Data Act to their advantage and enhance competitiveness.
Therefore, with extensive experience in the battle between direct selling companies and the Personal Data Act, Zhong Yin Law Firm and PricewaterhouseCoopers Management Consulting Co., Ltd. is jointly organizing a seminar to discuss in a timely approach the details of each of the eight strategies for direct selling companies to combat the Personal Data Act.
