In 2004, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, a forum for nations on the Pacific Rim, published a voluntary privacy framework intended to improve informational privacy standards in Asia. Its nine principles were: preventing harm; notice; collection limitation; use of personal information; choice; integrity of personal information; security safeguards; access and correction; and accountability. The APEC Principles have been criticised on the grounds that they are voluntary, not geared towards EU compatibility and largely based on OECD Guidelines from the 1970s, with little modernisation.
