Key points of the Vietnam Data Law

1.    Introduction

With the rapid growth of the data industry worldwide in recent years due to the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the utilization of data is becoming increasingly important in Vietnam. The Vietnamese government has been actively promoting the development of the data industry by implementing the revised Law on Telecommunications (No.24/2023/QH15) on July 1, 2024, clarifying regulations regarding data center services, cloud services etc .

On November 30, 2024, the Vietnamese National Assembly passed the country's first comprehensive Law on Data (No.60/2024/QH15, the "Data Law"). The Data Law will take effect on July 1, 2025 and will establish a new legal framework for the management and use of data in Vietnam.

This article provides an overview of the Data Law, while also considering the related draft decree that is currently accessible to the public by the public comment process.
