一名人士向私隱專員作出虛假陳述被判監禁
A Person was Sentenced to Imprisonment for Making False Statement to the
Commissioner
一名前保險代理（「該代理」）在
2014
年
11
月
20
日被控兩項違反條例
第
50B(1)(c)(i)
條向私隱專員作出虛假陳
述的罪名、一項違反《盜竊罪條例》第
16A
條的欺詐罪名，及五項違反《刑事
罪行條例》第
73
條的使用虛假文書罪
名。該代理承認控罪，被判監禁四個星
期。今次是條例自
1996
年生效以來，
首宗在私隱專員執行其法定職能的過程
中因誤導私隱專員而違反條例規定被判
有罪的個案。
個案源於一宗公署於
2012
年
10
月接
獲的投訴。投訴人是一間保險公司的客
戶，該代理在有關保險公司工作時曾接
觸投訴人。其後，該代理轉職另一間保
險公司，並游說投訴人購買一份新保
單，但投訴人當時並不知道新保單的承
保人是該代理轉職後的另一間公司。投
訴人指稱該代理誤導她，以不公平的方
法取得她的個人資料。
該代理回應公署的查詢時提供虛假資
訊，干犯條例下的罪行。公署把個案轉
介警方作刑事調查，進一步揭露保險的
文件中部分簽名並非由投訴人簽署。
公署提醒所有機構及個人須遵守法例，
嚴肅對待個人資料私隱。涉及投訴的任
何人士在回應公署的查詢時，應與公署
合作如實提供資料。
A former insurance agent (the "Agent")
was charged with two counts of making
a false statement to the Commissioner
unde r s ec t i on 50B ( 1 ) ( c ) ( i ) o f t he
Ordinance, one count of fraud under
section 16A of the Theft Ordinance and
five counts of using a false instrument
under section 73 of Crimes Ordinance
on 20 November 2014. The Agent
pleaded guilty to the charges and was
sentenced to 4 weeks' imprisonment.
Since the enforcement of the Ordinance
in 1996, this is the first conviction
for contravention of the Ordinance
by misleading the Commissioner in
discharging his statutory functions.
The case stemmed from a complaint
f r om a cus t ome r o f an i nsu rance
c omp a ny r e c e i v e d by t h e PCPD
in October 2012. The Agent had
approached the complainant while
working for one insurance company.
He subsequently moved to another
insurance company and sold a new
insurance policy to the complainant
who was unaware, at the time, that the
policy bought was issued by the latter
company. The complainant alleged
that the agent had misled her, and
had thereby obtained her personal
information by unfair means.
In responding to the PCPD's enquiries,
the Agent gave false information to the
PCPD, which constituted an offence
under the Ordinance. The case was
referred to the Police for criminal
investigation which unearthed that
some of the signatures on the insurance
documents were not signed by the
complainant at all.
The PCPD reminds all organisations
and individuals to abide by the law and
treat personal data privacy seriously.
Parties involved in a complaint should
cooperate and be truthful in responding
to PCPD's enquiries.
