A hk data is a form of personal data that is collected, processed and used to identify an individual. The definition of personal data is very broad and encompasses many things that could be considered to be private, such as a person’s name, address, telephone number, email address or even the person’s location at any given point in time. In order to collect personal data, the information must be collected for a specific purpose and the collection of the data must be fair and lawful.

In addition to collecting the data, a hk data must be stored securely and only accessed by authorized personnel. This ensures that only the intended recipient can access the data and no one else has access to it. A hk data also must be updated regularly. This prevents it from becoming out of date and allows for the correction of mistakes as soon as they occur.

As a result of these restrictions, data hk is typically only collected when absolutely necessary or for a legitimate reason. The process of collecting personal data can be complex and require many different steps in order to comply with the PDPO. A hk data must also be stored in accordance with the six DPPs.

The PDPO defines who is a data user by reference to the control that the person has over the collection, holding, processing or use of personal data. This includes the use of such data by the data user, as well as the disclosure or transfer of personal data outside Hong Kong. It does not, however, restrict a person’s ability to transfer personal data abroad in accordance with local laws.

For example, a photograph of a crowd at a musical concert does not constitute the collection of personal data under Hong Kong law as it is not being used to identify individuals. The same applies to CCTV recordings, logs of persons entering car parks and records of meetings that do not identify specific speakers or participants.

In order to fulfil their statutory obligations under the PDPO, a data user must satisfy the requirements of DPP1 (purpose and collection) and DPP3 (use). The PICS must clearly state the purposes for which personal data are being collected and must include the classes of person to whom the data may be transferred.

For those travelling to Hong Kong, SmarTone has a SIM package that gives you 10 GB of roaming data in HK and mainland China on their 3G network for HK$ 98. The pack is available from their online store or in their retail outlets. A day in HK is counted until midnight and the plan does not limit the speed of data use, but tethering and Facetime are not allowed. It’s a good option for those who want to bypass the Great Firewall of China but need an affordable data SIM card while in Hong Kong. The package can be activated by dialing *101*420#. The company has a full range of SIMs for travellers to dozens of countries.
