Issue no. 29
H e s a i d t h e a s s u m p t i o n t h a t
anonymisation was a solution for privacy
protection was no longer valid. For
example, in the case of sensitive data,
he said we must distinguish between
biometric data, like DNA, which cannot
be changed, and other personal data, such
as bank records. Anonymisation of one’s
DNA data does not serve the effect of de-
identifying the data. “Yet ultimately, we
have to frame and address these privacy
risks – either by looking at the principles,
or looking at the implementation (of the
principles),” he said.
When sharing experiences in tackling
privacy issues, Mr Niva stressed the need
to do everything that can be done to
protect data privacy. “For example, there
are cases in which a user can be easily
identified, as there may be only one
person in a tiny service area in Finland,”
he grinned. “But does that mean we
should not de-identify the data? Of
course not.”
As t he d i s cus s i on d r ew t o c l os e ,
P r i vacy Commi s s i one r , Mr A l l an
Chiang
, observed that the increased
use of the Internet and advanced
technologies posed challenges to
p r i v a c y p r o t e c t i on , and t ha t t he
‘Do No Evil’ case, which the PCPD
released in an investigation report
last year, was an illustrative example
of this. He pointed out that the case
had created a lot of discussion in
the community. He concluded that
although the law could never keep up
with the specifics, the principle-based
approach of our privacy law was still
very good. “Further, the accountability
principle, although not part of the
Hong Kong data protection law, is
still valid,” he said. “We can always
address a privacy issue by asking
whether the collection or use of data
in question is fair.”
