隱問題：
在推動自由使用公共資訊方面，政府應
留意存在於公共領域，包括公共登記冊

名化和去除身份識別元素的技術，有助
機構延長對資料的保留，重訂使用目的
和進行分析，同時可保障私隱。

預設為「機器可讀」，公署有所保留，因
為該做法會便利資料的整合、重整和配

The PCPD advocates the “Privacy by
Design” approach for the design and
use of information and communication
t echno l og i e s ( “ I CT s ” ) i n a pape r
submitted in November 2013 to the
Government in response to the public
consultation on the 2014 Digital 21
Strategy.
The PCPD points out that the four
enabling technologies namely cloud
computing, big data analytics, Internet
of Things, wireless and multi-platform
technologies mentioned in the strategy
have privacy concerns of their own.
In promoting public sector information
for free re-use, the Government should
take note that personal data available
in the public domain, including those
in public registers, are still subject
to regulation under the Ordinance.
Anonymisation and de-identification
techniques may be adopted as means to
enable prolonged retention, repurposing
and analytics of personal data in the
public domain, while at the same time
preserving privacy.
The PCPD has grave reservations for
the proposal to make all Government
information released to the public
machine-readable by default, as it
facilitates aggregation, re-arranging and
matching of such data which could lead
to a function creep, that is, use of the
data by subsequent data users for a new
purpose in contravention of the data
protection principle on use of personal
data.
On privacy education, the Government
should include privacy management
and data protection as part of the
required skills and capabilities for ICT
professionals, and consider to incorporate
privacy and data protection modules in
the academic programmes of universities
and other tertiary institutions.

In response to the public consultation
on the Government proposed RESCUE
Drug Testing Scheme, the PCPD made
submissions in January asserting that
drug testing is extremely intrusive to
one’s privacy right, and calls upon the
Government to consider its impact on
individual’s personal data privacy, the
availability of other less privacy intrusive
alternatives, and to provide more
substantial evidence to justify the proposal.
The consultation paper prepared by the
Action Committee Against Narcotics
invited views on whether and, if so,
how legislation should be introduced to
authorise drug testing on a person who is
suspected to have taken dangerous drugs
when there are reasonable grounds,
based on circumstantial conditions.
