On June 14, the National Information Security Standardization Technical Committee ("NISSTC") issued the Information Security Technology—Personal Information Processing Management Guide for Apps of Smart Mobile Terminals (Draft for Comment) (the "Draft for Comment") for public comments by August 12, 2022.

The Draft for Comment proposes the requirements for the personal information processing activities of the Apps on mobile smart terminals, and with its primary framework designed based on the user's personal information risk in each node of the mobile smart terminal's life cycle, it intends to provide management measures for mobile terminals in each life cycle of the App. This standard applies to the scenario in which the management, prompting, control, and other functions are provided when the mobile terminal operating system collects and uses personal information in the App. For example, it provides a stronger reminder mechanism for sensitive personal information or the sensitive capabilities of mobile terminals, and provides users with application software call behavior records.
