The topics of digitalization and data protection have gained more and more importance in Japan in recent years. Not only the maximum fines of up to 100 million yen and/or imprisonment of up to one year, which have been in force since the end of 2020, illustrate the new importance of data protection in Japan.

From 1 April 2022, further significant changes to the Japan’s data privacy law will come into effect.
