Hong Kong’s Privacy Commissioner’s Office (“PDPO”) ensures personal data protection by outlining data subject rights and specific obligations for data controllers via six data protection principles. Their purpose is to safeguard individual’s personal data while cultivating a culture of data protection.
Under its provisions for the collection and use of personal data, any collected personal information must be used lawfully and reasonably processed; furthermore, it stipulates that collected information will only be kept no longer than necessary to fulfill its original purpose of collection.
Additionally, this law stipulates that personal data collected must be accurate and up-to-date; secure against unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; review rights as well as compensation rights must also be protected under its provisions.
Hong Kong’s data centres serve as an essential infrastructure platform for key industries and emerging service sectors such as finance, insurance, trading & logistics and high-frequency stock trading. Their capabilities enable free flow of information with no censorship while protecting data privacy to fuel the growth of these industries.
