[Co-host] Vietnam’s new personal data protection law: Compliance readiness & practical implementation.

Vietnam Personal Data Protection Law was officially passed by the National Assembly on 26 June 2025, and is set to take effect on 1 January 2026. This new law marks a major shift in Vietnam’s approach to data privacy, building upon the foundation laid by Decree 13/2023/ND-CP, and introducing stricter requirements, broader definitions, and tough penalties.

With the law taking effect on 1 January 2026, businesses should act now. Depending on the complexity of your data processing activities, preparation may take months—making early action essential to avoid costly penalties and operational risks.

What you will gain from attending:

• Legal Clarity: Understand the key provisions of the newly adopted PDPL, and clarify how the PDPL builds on and differs from Decree 13/2023
• Privacy Principles: Learn about consent, data subject rights, and lawful processing
• Strategic Guidance: Practical steps to assess your current data practices and align them with the new legal framework
• Expert Insights: Hear from leading legal experts and data protection officers, on how to build a privacy-first culture
