The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, was interviewed by RTHK Radio 3’s “Backchat” on 28 January, where she introduced a series of celebratory events marking her Office (PCPD)’s 30
th anniversary.
This year witnesses the 30
th anniversary of the PCPD. During the interview, the Privacy Commissioner said that her Office has committed to discharging its roles and functions under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance in order to actively safeguard the personal data privacy of members of the public. She noted that since the establishment of her Office in 1996, the number of complaints received by the PCPD has continued to rise. This reflected the PCPD’s success in building its public profile, which in turns encouraged members of the public to seek assistance from the PCPD, and laid a solid foundation for the protection of personal data privacy in Hong Kong.
The Privacy Commissioner pointed out that under the 30
th anniversary celebration theme “Protecting Privacy • Embracing Innovation,” the PCPD would roll out a series of educational and promotional initiatives throughout the year. These include a Touring Musical for Primary Schools titled “Privacy Theatre: Stay Smart with AI”, the PCPD 30
