Dental Trade Alliance (DTA) shares details on the new prohibition on transmitting sensitive personal data, including personal health data, to China enforcement to commence on July 8, 2025

On April 11, 2025, the National Security Division (NSD) of the Department of Justice (DOJ) published guidance and an FAQ on how it will enforce its January 8, 2025, final rule implementing Executive Order 14117 of February 28, 2024 (Preventing Access to Americans’ Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern). This final rule, called the Data Security Program (DSP), prohibits or restricts certain types of data transactions with six specific countries and certain people or entities within those countries. While the DSP and its interpretative guidance documents cover many different types of transactions, this memo only addresses the impact the DSP has on the scenario most likely triggered for certain DTA members—the transmission of biometric identifiers or personal health information related to U.S. citizens to dental laboratories or manufacturers based in China.
