What Is Data Hk?
Data hk is information or statistics that show something. They can be used to describe a situation, trend or process, or to make decisions. Data can be primary or secondary, with the latter being based on already collected information. Examples of primary data include population censuses and demographics, weather forecasts and crime statistics. Secondary data is statistical or scientific information that is derived from primary data and includes line graphs, cross sectional plots and maps.
Investigations and prosecution relating to direct marketing practices remain one of the main enforcement areas, although this is expected to decrease in 2022 as more people are aware of their rights and how to opt out from unsolicited marketing. Direct marketers are required to have a valid HKID and display their contact details clearly on their material. It is also illegal for them to use personal data for direct marketing without the person’s consent.
The PDPO contains provisions conferring extra-territorial application, meaning it applies wherever a data user controls the collection, processing, erasure or use of personal data, regardless of whether the activity takes place in Hong Kong. As a result, even if a company’s data processing cycle is entirely outside of the city, it is still liable for its employees’ breaches. This is an important aspect of the legislation to bear in mind when establishing data management processes and implementing business continuity strategies.
