Reporting to Legislative Council – Privacy Commissioner Attends Meeting of the Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, attended meeting of the Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs on 26 April 2024 to brief Members on the protection of personal data privacy in the digital age.

The Privacy Commissioner pointed out to Members that to enhance data security, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) handled 394 self-initiated compliance checks and 169 data breach notifications from April 2023 to March 2024. The PCPD assisted the organisations concerned in handling the data breach incidents and taking remedial measures to comply with the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and minimise the chances of recurrence of similar incidents.

The rapid development of technologies in the digital age has also brought numerous challenges to the protection of personal data privacy. To assist the public and organisations in addressing the personal data privacy risks associated with cyber technologies, the PCPD has been carrying out a variety of work at the local and international levels, including the publication of review reports, guidelines or leaflets on areas such as artificial intelligence, online shopping platforms, social media and smartphones.
