Reporting to Legislative Council – Privacy Commissioner Attended Meeting of Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs to Brief Members on PCPD’s Work in 2023

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, attended the Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs on 19 February 2024 to brief Members on the work of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) in 2023 and its strategic focus this year.
 
The Privacy Commissioner reported that in respect of enforcement actions against doxxing offences that were intrusive to personal data privacy, the PCPD handled 756 doxxing cases (including doxxing cases proactively uncovered by PCPD’s online patrols and doxxing-related complaints) in 2023. The figure significantly dropped by 57% when compared to 1,764 cases in 2022. Doxxing messages on the Internet had reduced by around 80% because of the PCPD’s strenuous efforts in combatting doxxing acts.
 
The PCPD also publicised, promoted and strove to safeguard data security through different means, including the launching of the Data Security thematic webpage, the “Data Security Scanner” and the introduction of the data security hotline (2110 1155).
