Internet Surfing with Privacy in mind - A Guide for Individual Net Users
Conclusion
=>Security on the Internet is weak. You need to beware of the potential risks to your personal privacy every time you surf the Internet.
=>Every time you surf the Internet for fun, to obtain information or goods or services and when you are asked to provide your personal data, think about the potential risks that might affect your personal privacy before you press a "Submit" button or send off a message.
=>The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance protects your privacy interests in respect of your personal data with respect to Hong Kong based organisations. However, it would be in your own interest to take appropriate and "practical" precautions to minimise the privacy risks associated with your personal data with respect to such organisations as well as those organisations outside Hong Kong with whom you may interact on the Internet.
=>If you have queries about your privacy rights under the Ordinance, contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) for assistance.
