Seminar on “Protecting Personal Data Privacy – Challenges and Opportunities in the Digital Era”

Seminar on “Protecting Personal Data Privacy – Challenges and Opportunities in the Digital Era”


The landscape of personal data privacy continues to evolve in the digital era. To combat growing cybersecurity threat and facilitate the transfer of personal information across boundary within the Greater Bay Area, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) has strengthened its efforts in promoting data security and played a pivotal role in formulating the GBA Standard Contract.

This seminar will explore the latest developments in the privacy landscape in Hong Kong, covering recent data breach cases and the various guidelines on artificial intelligence issued by the PCPD. It will also highlight the requirements under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance for transferring personal data from Hong Kong and the facilitation measure for promoting cross-boundary flow of personal information within the Greater Bay Area. Amidst the rapid developments in privacy laws – including the introduction of the anti-doxxing regime in Hong Kong and the enactment of the Personal Information Protection Law in the Mainland – it is crucial for individuals and businesses alike to keep abreast of these changes. The speakers will share their insights on these topical issues, which are also covered in the third edition of “Personal Data (Privacy) Law in Hong Kong – A Practical Guide on Compliance”.

We invite data protection professionals, legal practitioners, and anyone interested in the latest developments in the privacy landscape to join us at this seminar.

Enrolment is on a first-come-first served basis.
