      <title>Privacy Alert | Vietnam’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) Officially Enacted</title>
      <link>https://www.kaamel.com/blog/en-privacy-alert-vietnam-s-personal-data-protection-law-pdpl-officially-enacted/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.kaamel.com/blog/en-privacy-alert-vietnam-s-personal-data-protection-law-pdpl-officially-enacted/</guid>
      <pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Vietnam’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), enacted in June 2025 and effective from January 1, 2026, establishes a comprehensive national framework for personal data protection, replacing the 2023 Decree No. 13/2023/NĐ-CP. Applicable to both domestic and foreign entities processing Vietnamese citizens’ or residents’ data, the PDPL introduces strict penalties (up to 10 times illegal proceeds for data trading or 5% of annual revenue for cross-border violations), a narrow “legitimate rights and interests” processing basis, and exemptions for micro-enterprises. It mandates explicit consent, data processing and transfer impact assessments (DPIA and TIA), and robust data subject rights, including access, correction, and deletion. Enterprises must implement consent mechanisms, data security measures, and compliance with data localization under the Cybersecurity Law, with specific rules for sensitive data like children’s or health information, and a 72-hour breach reporting requirement.</description>

      <pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>On July 12, 2025, a class action lawsuit was filed against SHEIN for allegedly violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending marketing text messages to numbers listed on the National Do-Not-Call Registry without prior consent. The plaintiff, whose number was registered in April 2025, continued receiving promotional texts in June, well past the required 31-day buffer. The case emphasizes that TCPA rules apply not only to calls but also to automated SMS marketing, requiring companies to prove consent, honor opt-outs, and now comply within 10 business days following an FCC order in April 2025. This lawsuit highlights stricter enforcement of consumer privacy protections against unsolicited marketing communications.</description>
