Date: 22 June 2026
The Privacy Commissioner explained that the PCPD established the Academy to proactively align with the National 15th Five-Year Plan, support Hong Kong’s development as an international hub for high-calibre talents, and support the formulation and implementation of Hong Kong’s first Five-Year Plan by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region under the leadership of the Chief Executive, thereby actively integrating into and serving the overall national development. Based in Hong Kong with an international perspective, the Academy will provide a platform to strengthen collaboration in education and training among privacy or data protection authorities, academia and experts from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and overseas.
She noted that the Academy offers a diverse range of training programmes, including introductory seminars, professional workshops, topical seminars on emerging issues, dialogues with experts and in-house seminars. The PCPD’s 30th Anniversary Privacy Protection Summit held on 16 June was the Academy’s launch event. The Summit brought together representatives from privacy regulators from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and overseas to explore the opportunities and challenges posed by emerging technologies such as AI to privacy protection.
The Privacy Commissioner added that the PCPD has long attached great importance to public education. In the past year alone, it organised over 460 educational activities, including professional courses, seminars and workshops, attracting around 60,000 participants. She envisaged that the Academy would further enhance Hong Kong’s influence in data privacy education and contribute to promoting “AI for All” training among the wider community.
