The Hong Kong Personal Data Protection Ordinance (“PDPO”) requires that data users inform data subjects prior to collecting their personal information of its intended use and potential recipients – similar requirements are found in other laws covering personal data transfers such as mainland China’s Personal Information Protection Law or Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation.

To comply with the PDPO, data users must demonstrate their transfer of personal data abroad by applying one of six legal grounds outlined by it. This process, significantly less onerous than GDPR’s six step framework, includes an analysis to see whether foreign jurisdiction’s laws and practices can provide adequate levels of protection compared to what’s expected by law under PDPO.

They will also act as primary points of escalation between executive sponsors and steering committee members.
