Ensuring personal data protection is vital to developments of the Vietnamese digital economy. While the government legitimately prioritizes security measures, the private sector needs flexibility for innovations and economic conducts. Balancing these seemingly conflicting interests is challenging, especially within the context of growing digital trade and cross-border data flows.
