‘10 Personal Information Processing Guidelines’ Leaflet.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education is producing a leaflet containing the ‘10 Rules for Personal Information Processing’ to prevent personal information leakage incidents at schools and institutions of all levels, and distributing it to schools and institutions throughout the Busan area.

The leaflet aims to clearly inform personal information handlers at schools and institutions of the principles and essential measures that must be known when processing personal information, thereby preventing cases of personal information leakage incidents and disadvantages such as fines.

The leaflet includes 10 key points that must be known at each stage of personal information processing, such as ▲collecting only the minimum necessary essential personal information ▲obtaining separate consent or having legal grounds to collect unique identification information or sensitive information ▲encrypting personal information for safe processing ▲providing to third parties only after confirming legal grounds or obtaining consent from the information subject.

Since March, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has been operating a ‘Personal Information Protection Activity Support’ webpage within the school support service to assist with personal information protection tasks in the school field.

The webpage standardizes work contents such as plans, official document drafts, and forms according to the timing of business promotion for legally required personal information protection matters, and organizes them in the form of an ‘Annual Work Processing Schedule.’

Kim Chil-tae, Director of the Safety Planning Division at the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “As personal information leakage has emerged as a serious social issue, the importance of personal information protection is being further emphasized,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen employees’ awareness of personal information protection to prevent personal information infringement incidents.”
