The current statutory and common law in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) protects personal data. Article 14 of the Bill of Rights stipulates that “no person shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home and correspondence, or to unlawful attacks on his honour and reputation.”

A broader definition of personal data in line with the EU’s GDPR would provide additional protection for individuals and increase compliance measures for businesses that process personal information, particularly those that are a controller or processor of such data. This is especially true for businesses that employ data-related technologies that learn about individual behaviours or those that process information that will have a direct impact on a data subject. For example, the combination of an individual’s name and HKID number displayed on their staff card is likely to constitute personal data under the PDPO and such data must be collected only for the purpose in which it was collected.
