The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau, with the support of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (“PCPD”), has conducted a review of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (“PDPO”) to examine whether the existing provisions of the Ordinance still afford adequate protection to personal data having regard to developments, including advancement in technology, in the last decade, and consult the public on the review findings. The proposed amendments to the PDPO may have profound impact on our ICT sector. To ensure the ICT community's views & concerns are taken into full account by the government, a joint forum led by major ICT associations will be held on 14 October 2009 (Wednesday).
