Reaching Out to the Community – Representatives of the PCPD Interviewed by the Media

Representatives of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) were interviewed by RTHK Radio 1’s “Open Line Open View” and Now News’ “News Magazine” on 10 August.

During the interview on RTHK Radio 1’s “Open Line Open View”, the Assistant Privacy Commissioner (Complaints and Criminal Investigation), Mr Billy KWAN, explained the definition of “personal data” under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. Regarding the handling of unlawful publication of intimate images, he said that depending on the circumstances, the PCPD would request the platforms concerned to remove the intimate images in question after reviewing the cases.

During the interview on Now News’ “News Magazine”, Senior Legal Counsel, Ms Hermina NG, said that the PCPD noted the recent news report on the publication of intimate images without consent. The PCPD had taken the initiative to contact the relevant organisation to offer assistance, and would carry out online patrols and follow up the matter. She also explained the pamphlet entitled “Sharenting Dos and Don’ts” issued by the PCPD, and provided tips for parents on the publication of posts about their children on social media platforms.
