規管個人資料跨境流動
Regulating Cross-Border Flows of Personal Data
2014 年 12 月公署發出了《保障個人資
料：跨境資料轉移指引》(「指引」 )，
協助機構為第 33 條的實施作好準備，
加強跨境資料轉移的私隱保障，也讓機
構更清楚他們在第 33 條下須承擔的法
律責任。
該指引詳細解釋條例第 33(2)(a) 至 (2)(f)
條豁免跨境資料轉移限制的所有情況。
關於機構要符合克盡職責的規定，該指
引提供了一份建議範本條文，協助機構
制定與海外資料接收者的跨境資料轉移
協議。機構可按其商業需要作出修改或
增添。
私隱專員鼓勵機構在條例第 33 條生效
前，自願採取指引中的建議，以履行其
企業管治的責任。公署自 2015 年 4 月
舉辦兩場簡介會。業界如對指引的實用
性有任何意見，及在依從指引時遇到任
何問題，歡迎向公署提出。

conditions in sections 33(2)(a) to (2)
(f) of the Ordinance for waiving cross-
border data-transfer restrictions. As
regards the steps organisations need
to take to satisfy the Due Diligence
Requirement, the Guidance provides
a set of recommended model data-
transfer clauses to assist organisations
in developing cross-border data-transfer
agreements with their overseas data
recipients. Organisations can adapt or
add to the clauses according to their
specific commercial needs.

Ordinance comes into operation. Two
briefing sessions on the Guidance have
been conducted since April 2015.
The PCPD welcomes feedback from
industry as regards the utility value
of the Guidance and the problems,
if any, that they face in following the
Guidance.
