2024.06.30. The Fair Economy — The Personal Information Protection Commission and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) announced on the 30th that they are pushing pilot certification for "Privacy by Design (PbD)" for robot vacuum cleaners equipped with cameras and other personal information collection devices that are closely integrated into daily life.
PbD (Privacy by Design) refers to a design concept that prevents personal information infringement in advance by sufficiently considering personal information protection elements throughout the entire process of planning, manufacturing, and disposal of a product or service.
Following last year's issuance of the nation's first Privacy by Design (PbD) certification for home security cameras from Caps Home Inner Guard and Sk Shieldus, the PIPC this year expanded the pilot certification product categories to four, including robot vacuum cleaners with cameras and other smart home appliances closely related to daily life, and accepted applications from interested companies.
Accordingly, the commission selected target products for each pilot certification category, such as robot vacuum cleaners and home service robots, and began the certification project by holding individual consultations and an integrated briefing session for companies at the end of June.
Products selected for pilot certification will undergo evaluation and testing to determine whether they meet the certification standards applicable to the product among a total of 71 certification items, as well as implementation of vulnerability remediation measures, before receiving final certification.
The certification covers four areas: basic requirements, lawfulness of personal data processing, information security and privacy enhancement, and organizational protective measures, with a total of 71 certification items.
Yang Cheong-sam, director of the PIPC's Personal Information Policy Bureau, said, "Various products that process personal information are being released, and the importance of PbD certification will grow accordingly. Consumers will increasingly prefer products with enhanced personal information protection features, and we will strive to revitalize the system so that the perception that PbD-certified products are safe to use becomes established."
