( January 20, 2026, 07:08 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission said it has completed a second-phase build-out of the cross-government “OnMyData” support platform, designed to help people exercise their right to request, receive and manage copies of their personal data more easily and safely. In a statement on Tuesday, the regulator said the revamped service allows users to download their data to a device as a file or send it by email or app, while also offering secure storage so the information can be retained or deleted when no longer needed. The commission said the service is being integrated into the Government24 app, with a pilot running through February ahead of a public launch in March. It added that the upgrade includes personalized dashboards showing transfer histories, recent services and related-data maps, while also helping participating institutions simulate transfer costs and strengthening APIs and monitoring to improve system stability.The statement is attached (in Korean)....
