summary: "The July 2025 CAC announcement operationalises the person-in-charge-of-personal-information-protection (PIPO) designation and filing requirement under PIPL Article 52 and Article 12 of the Administrative Measures for Personal Information Protection Compliance Audits: any personal information handler that processes the personal information of one million or more individuals must report the identity and contact details of its designated person in charge of personal information protection to the municipal-level CAC office where it is registered. Personal information handlers that had already crossed the one-million threshold before 18 July 2025 were given until 29 August 2025 to complete the initial filing; those crossing the threshold after that date must file within 30 business days. Reporting is done exclusively online through the Personal Information Protection Business System (grxxbh.cacdtsc.cn), also reachable from the CAC website's 'National Cyberspace Administration Affairs Hall.' For overseas counsel advising China-facing businesses, this announcement means that any client meeting the PIPL Art. 52 threshold must have a named, reported PIPO on file with the local regulator — failure to do so is an express regulatory violation."
