With the increase in public awareness on personal data protection, it becomes an important aspect for organisations to gain customers’ trust and confidence.

Data Protection Principle 3 – Use of Personal Data
A wedding photography company should not have broadcast the video clip of a client’s wedding ceremony without the data subject’s prior consent
The Complaint
The Complainant hired a wedding photography company for recording his wedding ceremony. To the Complainant’s surprise, the video clip of his wedding ceremony, containing his name and other personal data, was later broadcast publicly at the shop of the company for advertising the service of the company to other customers.
|
|
|
|
|
Outcome
The PCPD drew the company’s attention to the requirements of Date Protection Principle (DPP)3. The broadcast of the video clip by the company for advertising purpose without the Complainant’s consent was inconsistent with the original collection purpose of the data (i.e. provision of recording service to the Complainant), and thus the company had contravened DPP3. Upon the PCPD’s advice, the company immediately ceased broadcasting the video clip and destroyed the clip.
The Complainant was satisfied with the remedial actions taken by the company, and further investigation of the case could not reasonably be expected to bring about a more satisfactory result. The Complainant agreed that it was not necessary for the PCPD to investigate the case further.

Q: What are the risks of using portable storage devices (PSDs)?
A: The use of PSDs means that large amounts of personal data can be quickly and easily copied to such devices without notice. If such PSDs are lost or stolen, unauthorised or accidental access or use of that personal data may result. In extreme cases, even personal data contained in files already deleted or previously stored on reformatted PSDs can easily be recovered.
|
|
|
|
Q: What are the areas that a risk assessment should look into to facilitate the formulation of the policy associated with the use of PSDs?
|
|
|
|
A: The risk assessment should at least look into the following areas:
(a) What types of PSDs are used to store personal data?
(b) What kinds of personal data are stored on PSDs and their sensitivity to the persons involved?
(c) Under what circumstances and how often are PSDs used for the storage of personal data?
(d) What is the likely impact on data subjects if a data breach incident involving PSDs occurs?
(e) Are there any controls, administrative or technical, in place for the use of PSDs?
