Discussion on creating a new mechanism for the management and proper use of government personal information data October 15, 15:26

Amid growing concerns that huge IT companies such as Google and Amazon in the United States will monopolize huge amounts of data such as product purchase history, the government is moving toward the safe management and proper use of data related to personal information. We have decided to create a new system.

It has been pointed out that the giant IT companies represented by GAFA use data related to personal information such as searches, product purchase histories, and SNS transmissions by enclosing them.



In response to this, the government set up a meeting consisting of IT companies and experts to start discussions on the safe management and proper use of data related to personal information, and held the first meeting on the 15th.



At the beginning of the conference, Minister for Economic Revitalization Nishimura said, "With the rapid progress of DX = digital transformation triggered by Corona, we would like to build a mechanism to ensure the safety and reliability of data and disseminate it to the world." Said.



At the meeting, individuals and companies will have a dedicated ID to centrally manage each data, and we will consider whether we can build a mechanism to prevent unauthorized use of data, and at the meeting on the 15th, ID security Opinions were exchanged on how to secure.



The meeting will continue to consider and publish a roadmap for creating a system by next spring.
