The Personal Information Protection Commission (個人情報保護委員会, Kojin jōhō hogo iinkai; PPC) is a Japanese government commission charged with the protection of personal information. It was established on January 1, 2016 to replace the Specific Personal Information Protection Commission.[1] The commission consisted of eight commissioners and a chairperson appointed by the Prime Minister with the consent of the National Diet.[2] The number of commission members was increased from the initial four to eight in February 2016.[3]
The Commission is responsible for supervision under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information. An amendment act to that Act was approved by the Diet on 5 June 2020 and promulgated on 12 June 2020, to come into force, except for certain provisions, within two years of promulgation.[4] All of the amending acts had entered into full force by 1 April 2023.[5] The Commission has also issued supplementary rules governing the handling of personal data transferred from the European Union and the United Kingdom under an adequacy decision.[5]
