About the Workshop

In Hong Kong, individuals' awareness and expectation of their rights in relation to personal data privacy has reached an unprecedented level after recent incidents of corporate malpractices in the use of personal data. Data protection has become a vital component to the success of business in building employee trust and enhancing corporate image. If your business involves the collection and use of personal data, it is important that your staff are fully up-to-date and compliant with the requirements under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance ("the Ordinance").

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data ("PCPD") has developed a series of professional workshops on data protection tailored to the needs of those dealing with personal data in different work contexts. Participants will work through guidance notes issued by the PCPD and practical scenarios with expert guidance from PCPD’s experienced trainers or commissioned consultants.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will possess a solid knowledge of data protection law, as well as an understanding of the practical implications of the legal requirements under the Ordinance. Participants will be encouraged to discuss cases that they have dealt with and to share ideas and knowledge with other participants. Questions will be answered within a systematic framework enabling participants to apply the fundamental principles to a range of privacy issues.
