On June 8, Koscom announced that, as a specialized personal information management institution (brokerage specialized institution), it will support the implementation of the right to request personal data transmission by public system operating institutions through its MyData Brokerage Center. In February, the government revised the Enforcement Decree of the Personal Information Protection Act, expanding the right for data subjects or their representatives to request the transfer of their personal information to themselves to all areas.

Following this revision, public system operating institutions that have become personal data transmitters must, by August, establish methods for exercising the right to request data transfer, identify the information subject to transfer, set procedures for information transmission, and determine ways to verify transmission details. The Personal Information Protection Commission has recommended the adoption of a standardized information linkage method (API method) with higher safety·and reliability between systems, in order to improve the practice of collecting personal information unilaterally using automated tools based solely on the data subject's simple consent, and to better protect the rights of data subjects.

Koscom provides comprehensive support to help public system operating institutions adapt to these regulatory changes, including responding to automated information collection tools, transitioning to the API method, and implementing information transmission plans based on a brokerage system. In particular, when a brokerage system is integrated, the brokerage specialized institution can support key functions such as verifying transmission requests, issuing information inquiry authorizations, validating the legitimacy of proxy authority, and managing transmission history for each public system operating institution, thereby reducing both the costs and time required for system development. Furthermore, using a brokerage system instead of directly connecting public systems and proxies (proxy institutions) can reduce security risks and distribute system loads, which helps ensure the stable operation of public services. In addition, Koscom provides development guides, testing, and operational support necessary for linking with proxies (proxy institutions), helping public system operating institutions reduce the burden of responding to these regulatory changes so they can focus on their core work.

Doyeon Kim, Head of Data Business Division at Koscom, stated, "As an infrastructure operator supporting the exercise of data subject rights, Koscom will actively support public system operating institutions in establishing a safe and efficient API-based transmission system as early as possible."
