The first step is to determine whether the transfer is covered by the PDPO. This is done by looking at the purpose of the collection of personal data and the intention of the person who intends to transfer it. If the transfer is not for any of these purposes, then it will be exempt from the PDPO and its obligations in respect of data transfers.
The next step is to assess the level of protection provided by the foreign jurisdiction in which the personal data is transferred. If the assessment reveals that the data exporter’s foreign counterparties do not provide sufficient protection, the data exporter should identify and adopt supplementary measures to bring the level of protection in the overseas jurisdiction up to Hong Kong standards. These measures can be technical or contractual in nature.
When considering whether to adopt supplementary measures, the data exporter should keep in mind that the data subject must be fully informed of the reasons for the transfer and the underlying grounds. This will help to ensure that the consent given by the data subject is valid and binding. In addition, the data exporter should also keep proper records of all of its efforts to comply with cross-border data transfers.
Besides ensuring that data hk is properly protected, a HK PICs must also consider whether it is appropriate to collect personal data in the first place. This is because the PDPO requires that a person must obtain the voluntary and express consent of a data subject before collecting their personal data. The consent must be notified to the data subject in writing, in a form that is easy to understand, and it must be able to be easily revoked.
Data hk is an important part of a person’s privacy. It protects them from identity theft and other security risks. This data can also be used to make informed decisions about a person’s personal or business activities. For example, it can be used to create personalized advertising or offer financial products that are more relevant to a person’s needs.
