MIIT Public-Naming Bulletin 2026 Batch 3 (Total Batch 56): 31 Apps and SDKs Cited for PI Violations and Window-Redirect Abuse
MIIT's Information & Communications Administration Bureau published its 2026 Batch 3 public-naming bulletin (total Batch 56) on May 21, 2026, citing 31 apps and SDKs for violations of personal-information collection rules and window-redirect abuse. DCC frames this as the first entry in our enforcement tracker — explaining the joint CAC + MIIT + MPS 2026 Special Campaign that authorizes the batches, the four-statute legal architecture invoked, the rectification-then-enforcement pathway each named entity faces, the cadence of the bulletin series (roughly monthly, 56 batches since inception), and the operational picture this gives overseas counsel of which PI-protection violations actually attract enforcement in the Chinese mobile-app channel.

Compliance Talker's global legal policy research team contrasts China's PIPO regime under PIPL Article 52 with the GDPR's Data Protection Officer (DPO) framework under Articles 37–39. The most consequential difference: PIPO carries individual administrative liability — up to RMB 1 million in personal fines and industry bans — where DPO does not.
