Dear HKCS Members,

HKCS <Public Consultation on the Review of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance>

The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (“PDPO”) has been in force since 1996. The Government, with the support of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, has conducted a comprehensive review of the PDPO to examine whether its existing provisions still afford adequate protection to personal data having regard to developments, including advancement in technology, in the last decade.

The Government is inviting public views on the proposals to amend the PDPO. Hong Kong Computer Society would like to collect and consolidate your views for consideration and submit to the Government. Kindly email your view on or before 27 Oct 2009 (Tue) at (email) project@hkcs.org.hk. Your opinion is highly appreciated.

Should you have any queries, please kindly contact HKCS office at (tel) 2834 2228.

Best Regards,

Industry Policy Committee
Hong Kong Computer Society
