summary: "Issued by the CAC on 29 December 2025, this short announcement operationalizes the annual compliance-audit-and-report obligation that Article 37 of the Regulations on the Protection of Minors in Cyberspace imposes on every personal information handler that processes personal information of minors. It fixes the annual reporting deadline (by 31 January of the following year), designates the local prefecture-level cyberspace administration authority as the recipient, mandates online submission through the CAC's Personal Information Protection Business System, and warns that failure to conduct or report the compliance audit will be dealt with under the applicable laws, regulations, and rules. The announcement bridges the PI Audit Measures (effective May 2025) and the minors-protection regime: any handler—regardless of scale—must audit its minors-PI practices each year. Overseas counsel advising multinationals with Chinese apps or platforms that reach minors should ensure clients have a standing annual audit-and-submission process in place before 31 January."
