Promoting Awareness

Media liaison

To maintain a high level of transparency and accountability, the PCPD has adopted a proactive and co-operative approach in media relations. In 2003-04, the PCPD held two press briefings to release the revised Code of Practice on Consumer Credit Data and the consultation report on the "Draft Code of Practice on Monitoring and Personal Data Privacy at Work". In addition, the PCPD issued six press releases and responded to almost one thousand media enquiries. Besides, the Privacy Commissioner gave a significant number of interviews to the media, including 28 to the electronic media.

Privacy Commissioner Mr. Raymond Tang took the opportunities to express his views on different privacy related issues to the general public in various media interviews.
