Mission and Key Goals

The PCPD's Mission is:

To secure the protection of privacy of the individual with respect to personal data through promotion, monitoring and supervision of compliance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance ("the PD(P)O") in a cost effective and efficient manner.

The PCPD's Key Goals are to ensure:

  • individuals are aware of their rights as data subjects under the PD(P)O and how to exercise them;

  • public and private sector organizations are aware of their obligations as data users under the PD(P)O and how to meet them;

  • individuals, as well as public and private sector organizations, are aware of the role of the PCPD and how it can assist them;

  • enquiries are responded to courteously and efficiently to the satisfaction of the enquirer;

  • complaints are investigated and resolved efficiently in a manner that is fair to all parties concerned;

  • all other functions of the PCPD are carried out cost-effectively and efficiently; and

  • all other jurisdictions with data protection laws are aware of the robustness of our law in protecting the privacy of the individual with respect to personal data so as to obviate any interference in the free flow of personal data to Hong Kong.
