An environment has been put in place to make it easier and safer to exercise the "right to request transmission of personal information," which allows people to check their personal information in one place and directly download it to store or delete it.
The Personal Information Protection Commission said on the 20th that it held a completion briefing for the second phase of building OnMyData, a pan-government MyData support platform, chaired by Chairperson Song Kyung-hee.
OnMyData is an integrated platform that supports the exercise of the right to request transmission guaranteed by law, allowing people to see at a glance their personal information transmission history and withdraw it all at once if needed.
In this second phase, the Personal Information Protection Commission focused on enhancing features that allow people to directly download and manage their own information. As a result, users can use OnMyData to download their information as files to their devices, or send it via email or app to store and manage it themselves.
A new "personal information vault" feature has also been introduced to delete information that is not needed. However, the functions for storing, transmitting, and deleting information are only available on the mobile app.
Users can see at a glance their information transmission history, recently used MyData services, and search information. Through a "related data map" that visualizes transmitting organizations and transmission items, they can also more intuitively understand how their personal information is being used.
The second-stage OnMyData service will go through pilot operations until next month and is scheduled to launch in March.
Chairperson Song said, "This second-phase buildout is an important turning point that shifts MyData from a 'difficult system' to a service that people can use directly in their daily lives," adding, "We will continue to create an environment where people can easily check their own information, manage it safely, and use it freely when needed."
