apac-transfers

apac-transfers is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ThomasMoreAI/legal-skills-open. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,624 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of apac-transfers, Apache-2.0.

A guide to transferring personal data across Asia-Pacific privacy regimes, including APEC rules, ASEAN contract clauses, and country-specific laws. These frameworks set different conditions for moving data between countries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess transfers involving Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and other participating economies, and to choose relevant certification or contract mechanisms.
Why use it?
It helps organisations deal with inconsistent transfer requirements across countries instead of applying one privacy rule everywhere. It supports a clearer view of which mechanism fits each data flow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apac-transfers scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Managing APAC Cross-Border Transfers

Overview

The Asia-Pacific region encompasses diverse data protection regimes with varying cross-border transfer mechanisms. Unlike the GDPR's unified framework, APAC transfers require navigating multiple overlapping systems: the APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR), ASEAN Model Contractual Clauses (MCCs), and country-specific mechanisms under Japan's APPI, South Korea's PIPA, Thailand's PDPA, and Singapore's PDPA. This skill provides a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction guide to managing cross-border data flows across the APAC region.

APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System

Framework

The APEC CBPR system is a voluntary, accountability-based mechanism enabling participating organisations to demonstrate compliance with internationally recognised privacy protections for cross-border data flows within the APEC region.

Participating economies (as of March 2026): Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, United States.

Key features:

  • Organisations self-certify compliance with the APEC Privacy Framework principles
  • Certification is conducted by an APEC-recognised Accountability Agent (e.g., TRUSTe/TrustArc for the US, JIPDEC for Japan)
  • CBPR certification covers only the data flows of the specific certified organisation, not the entire economy
  • The Global CBPR Forum (established April 2022) aims to expand the system beyond APEC membership

CBPR Principles

Principle Description
Preventing Harm Recognising the interests of the individual regarding the protection of their information
Notice Providing clear and easily accessible statements about data practices
Collection Limitation Limiting personal information collection to that which is relevant
Uses of Personal Information Using personal information only for purposes fulfilling the individual's expectations or as authorised by law
Choice Providing individuals with choice regarding collection, use, and disclosure
Integrity of Personal Information Maintaining the accuracy, completeness, and currency of personal information
Security Safeguards Protecting personal information with appropriate security safeguards
Access and Correction Providing individuals with access to their information and the ability to correct inaccurate data
Accountability Being accountable for complying with measures that give effect to the principles
