The law adopted in South Korea allows companies to collect personal information of service users without their consent. The Personal Data Protection Commission reported that the new rules will come into force on September 15.
«According to the updated decree, companies no longer need to obtain users' consent to collect personal information required to provide services or conclude contracts, although explicit consent is still required to collect sensitive personal data», - said the commission statement.
According to the new rules, South Korean companies are allowed to collect the addresses and phone numbers of users that may be needed for order delivery. In addition, the authorities plan to distribute booklets among organizations to inform about the updated rules and prevent confusion.
