The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong (Privacy Commissioner), Mr Stephen Kai-yi WONG, was invited to officiate at the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong’s 2019 (9th) Junzi Corporation Kick-off Ceremony on 3 May 2019.

The Privacy Commissioner said that more and more corporations were using big data and artificial intelligence in advancing their businesses in a data-driven economy, while customers’ expectation on personal data protection kept rising. Thus, they should incorporate data ethics as part of corporate data governance alongside meeting the requirements of laws. Corporations should incorporate data governance and data ethics as part of corporate governance and operation, namely being respectful, beneficial and fair and to adopt appropriate protection measures for handling personal data. This not only could gain customers’ confidence and demonstrate the corporations’ commitment on personal data protection and accountability, but also could enhance reputation and competitiveness. This is also an important element of “Junzi Corporation”.
