Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.810

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.810); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Korean purpose

대한민국은 「개인정보 보호법」을 2020년 GDPR 수준으로 전면 개정(2020.2.4 시행)하여, 개인정보 영향평가 의무화, 가명정보(Pseudonymous Data) 개념 도입, 정보주체의 전송요구권(Data Portability) 신설, 개인정보보호위원회의 독립적 감독기구화, 과징금 상향(매출액 3% 이내) 등을 도입했다. 2023년 EU로부터 GDPR 적정성 결정(Adequacy Decision)을 획득했다.
