Beijing E-Town Completes the City’s First Negative List Filing for Cross-Border Data Transfers
An official from the BDA explained that after the release of the Measures for the Facilitation of Cross-Border Data Flows in Beijing, Beijing E-Town was the first to issue a document for implementing the city’s negative list policy for cross-border data transfers. This document, titled Implementation Opinions on the Negative List for Cross-Border Data Transfers in the E-Town Section of the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone’s High-End Industrial Zone, supports enterprises in the Free Trade Zone by enabling them to carry out cross-border data transfers under the negative list. It also reinforces the responsibility of data processors as the primary entities responsible for cross-border data transfers and establishes a closed-loop supervision mechanism, which includes periodic reporting, spot checks, and inspections. The initiative is designed to achieve four key outcomes: a comprehensive cross-border data transfer negative list, data management measures, a data services system, and exemplary case studies aligned with Beijing E-Town’s industrial development needs.
Furthermore, the Beijing Cross-Border Data Services Center (BDA Service Station) recently began operations at the Xinchuang Park in E-Town. As one of the first four data service centers in Beijing, this service station provides enterprises with one-stop services, including policy consultation, application submission, filing evaluation, supervision, and technical support for the negative list on cross-border data transfers.
The BDA official added, “Moving forward, we will leverage the service station to conduct research on the enterprises’ needs related to the negative list, helping more companies complete their filings. Additionally, we will enhance supervision, risk prevention, and other related work to regulate and promote the orderly flow of cross-border data in practice. This will further improve the management capabilities and convenience of cross-border data transfers for E-Town-based enterprises.”
