Administrative Appeal Board (“AAB”)
has dismissed the appeals from Sudden
Weekly and Face Magazine against
the Privacy Commissioner’s decision
in two cases relating to the clandestine
photo-taking of artistes, and confirmed
the Privacy Commissioner’s decision
that the two magazines’ had collected
their personal data by unfair means
and amounted to contravention of Data
Protection Principle (“DPP”)1(2).
In its decision made on 6 January 2014,
the AAB ruled that public interest is one
of the factors to consider as to whether or
not the taking of clandestine photographs
by news organisations using systematic
surveillance and telescopic lens is fair.
The two cases did not involve public
interest.
T h e A A B a l s o c o n f i r m e d t h e
en f o r cemen t no t i ce d i r ec t i ng t he
two magazines to take measures to
remedy the contravention, including
in these cases, to draw up privacy
g u i d e l i n e s o n t h e c o l l e c t i o n o f
personal data by systematic covert
surveillance and/or long distance
photograph shooting, and to provide
relevant training to their staff.
The solicitors of the magazines informed
the Commissioner that the photographs
had already been permanently deleted
from the magazines’ database and
websites.
The two magazines applied to the High
Court for leave to judicial review in
regard to the AAB’s and PCPD’s decisions
in March.
