The Ministry of Public Security is seeking feedback on a draft decree governing the operation of data platforms, aiming to build a transparent and regulated data trading environment, promote data products and services, support innovation, and expand the data economy.
The draft decree includes nine chapters and 38 articles. It is designed to strengthen data security and safety, protect data rights and privacy, and enhance oversight, auditing, traceability, and penalties for violations.
Under the draft proposal, the national data platform is built, managed, operated, maintained, and overseen by the Center for Data Innovation and Exploitation under the National Data Center, Ministry of Public Security.
The Ministry proposes two categories of data platforms: the national data platform and other data platforms.
The national data platform provides data, data products, and data services from sources including the national integrated database, national databases, specialized databases, and other databases managed by Party and state agencies, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and other political-social organizations. It also includes data provided by organizations and individuals.
Other data platforms obtain data, data products, and services from national databases and specialized databases managed by the platform’s administering agency (for organizations providing platform services that are public-service units), as well as data provided by organizations or individuals outside the state.
Both types of platforms must ensure information security at Level 3 or higher and be able to connect and share data with the national data platform. The national data platform is also responsible for supervising, inspecting, and evaluating the operations of other platforms.
The draft defines that data managed by state agencies and political-social organizations is public property. It also sets out that state data exploitation follows a fee-based mechanism, while value-added data products and services derived from data are subject to pricing mechanisms as prescribed by law.
The draft allows buyers to access, process, and analyze data in an isolated, secure digital environment to assess the quality and suitability of data products and services before formal trading.
The testing activity is intended to help buyers verify data quality and integrate data with private datasets for research and development of analytical models and artificial intelligence, or to create new products—without copying or moving the original data out of the data platform system.
The testing environment must operate in isolation from the official data platform system. Data may be stored and processed only within the platform infrastructure, and downloading, copying, or extracting data without authorization is prohibited.
The draft also outlines the rights and obligations of data platform service providers, sellers, and testers, including requirements related to data security, controlling outputs, and legal liability in the event of violations.
Participating organizations must be legally established, individuals must have full civil capacity, and for sectors requiring conditional licenses, all conditions must be met as prescribed by law.
Under the draft proposal, the data platform transaction process includes: registering trading accounts and payment accounts; registering, inspecting, evaluating, and listing data products and services; initiating and concluding a transaction; entering into an electronic contract; making payment; delivering data; confirming property rights to the data; providing post-transaction evaluation and feedback; and setting service pricing by the data platform service provider.
All transactions must be conducted through registered trading and payment accounts on the platform. Data products and services may be listed only after mandatory testing and evaluation. Buying and exchanging must be carried out through an electronic contract in accordance with the Electronic Transactions Law.
The decree regulating the operation of the data platform is expected to be issued in the second quarter of 2026.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise.
