Hours recorded in China leave the country under the 2024 cross border provisions and the 2025 network data regulations

Robot recordings that contain personal information or important data are governed on the way out of China by the Cyberspace Administration's provisions on cross border data flows, in force since 22 March 2024, and by the State Council's network data security regulations, in force since 1 January 2025. A handler need not treat data as important unless told or a catalog says so, and personal information below set head counts moves on a standard contract or without a filing.

  • Cyberspace Administration provisions, article 2: a handler need not declare data for an outbound security assessment as important data unless notified by a department or region or it is publicly listed as such.
  • Article 7: a security assessment is required for important data, or for personal information of one million or more people, or sensitive personal information of ten thousand or more, counted from 1 January of the year.
  • Article 8: between one hundred thousand and one million people, or under ten thousand sensitive records, a standard contract or certification suffices. Article 6 lets free trade zones publish negative lists.
  • State Council regulations, article 62, define important data by field, group, region, precision and scale; article 29 puts catalogs with regions and sectors; article 37 sends important data abroad only through the state assessment.

What it changes

For a robot maker collecting or buying hours

Footage of people in a training ground is personal information under Chinese law, and moving it out counts heads. Below the thresholds the road is a standard contract; above them it is a state assessment. Whether the recordings are also important data is not answered by any catalog the ledger found, which is the open question beside this record.
