CHAPTER 486
PERSONAL DATA (PRIVACY) ORDINANCE
Part VII - INSPECTIONS, COMPLAINTS
AND INVESTIGATIONS
49. Cases in which sections
47 and 48 shall not apply
| |
Where-
| (a)
|
the Commissioner has completed an investigation
(and whether or not the investigation was initiated
by a complaint);
|
| |
|
| (b) |
the result of the investigation is that the act
or practice the subject of the investigation is
not a contravention of a requirement under this
Ordinance because of an exemption under Part VIII;
and
|
| |
|
| (c) |
the interest protected by that exemption would
be likely to be prejudiced if sections 47 and
48 applied in relation to the investigation, then-
- those sections shall not apply in relation
to the investigation; and
- the Commissioner shall, in such manner and
at such time as he thinks fit-
(A) inform the relevant data user of the result
of the investigation and such other comments
arising from the investigation as he thinks
fit;
(B) if the investigation was initiated by a
complaint, inform the complainant that the result
of the investigation is that he is satisfied
that the act or practice the subject of the
investigation is not a contravention of a requirement
under this Ordinance (or words to the like effect).
