2026 Special Campaign on Personal Information Protection Achieves Phase Results

English summary

The CAC, MIIT and MPS jointly carried out the 2026 special campaign on personal information protection, inspecting over 20,000 apps and SDKs, urging over 4,000 to complete compliance rectification, publicly naming over 1,100 problematic apps and SDKs, and taking removal and other measures against over 400. Additionally, over 1,000 enterprises were inspected and urged to rectify issues related to ads and user profiling. This indicates tightened regulation, possibly raising compliance costs for internet and data service firms.
