PCPD Publishes 2024-25 Annual Report
The 2024-25 Annual Report of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) was tabled in the Legislative Council today.
Themed “Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for a New Digital Privacy Era”, our 2024-25 Annual Report centres on the dual interpretations of AI – Accomplishments and Impacts, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It showcases the PCPD’s achievements and the profound impacts of our work, underscoring our commitment to proactively identifying, responding to and steering changes in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
The reporting year was marked by intense discussions on generative AI, accompanied by a surge in AI-related privacy risks. In 2024, the PCPD issued the “Artificial Intelligence: Model Personal Data Protection Framework” – one of the first frameworks on AI in the privacy landscape in the Asia-Pacific region. The PCPD further issued the “Checklist on Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Employees” this year. Both publications underscore a high reference value and a strong impact at both local and global levels.
The PCPD achieved significant results in our enforcement actions against doxxing over the past year, with a notable decline in both doxxing related cases and complaints. The number of doxxing cases uncovered by the PCPD’s proactive online patrols dropped by 92%, from 841 cases in 2022-23, the first year after the commencement of the new anti-doxxing regime, to 65 cases in the reporting year. The number of doxxing complaints also decreased by 55%, from 676 to 305.
Within the Greater Bay Area (GBA), the PCPD actively facilitated cross-boundary flows of personal information, which helps promote the high-quality development of digital economy in the GBA and contributes to Hong Kong’s further integration into the overall development of the Country.
