Facilitate the perfection of systems and promote legal compliance Message from Acting Chief Privacy Compliance Officer From ICAC to PCPD, I got different understanding and feelings about enforcement work. Being experienced in criminal law enforcement, I thought that I could handle, even if not with ease, the enforcement of the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. However, to my surprise, I had to strain myself to the limit before I could grasp the essentials of the Ordinance. For a thorough understanding of the Ordinance, I believe I still have a lot to learn. Fundamentally, the legislative intent of the Ordinance was not punitive. This is different from the criminal law in general. For example, not every citizen clearly knows that contravention of the Data Protection Principles is not a criminal offence per se. It is not only job satisfaction that drives me to raise public awareness of privacy; it is a mission. Looking forward, I sincerely hope that my division can keep on promoting the importance of "protecting privacy is your business". Allen Ting |
