What 个人信息出境标准合同 means
The handler signs the prescribed standard contract with the overseas recipient, conducts the required impact assessment and files the package with the provincial cyberspace authority when the mechanism applies. Eligibility must be assessed under the current framework: the 2024 cross-border data-flow provisions modified thresholds and created exemptions that overlay the numerical conditions in the 2023 Standard Contract Measures.
The standard contract is not a free-form data-processing agreement. Its mandatory terms and current eligibility thresholds should be checked before relying on it.
