The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486), as amended in 2012 and 2021 (the “PDPO”), is the primary legislation in Hong Kong which was enacted to protect the privacy of individuals’ personal data and regulate the collection, holding, processing, disclosure, or use of personal data by the organizations.
In 2012, the PDPO underwent amendments, including enacting provisions to govern direct marketing and additional protections to address new privacy challenges and public concerns. The 2021 amendments were aimed at addressing the acts of disclosing personal data without the consent of the data subjects (doxing). The Data Protection Principles (“DPPs”) in Schedule 1 to the PDPO outline how entities should collect, handle, disclose, and use personal data.
Securiti enables organizations to comply with Hong Kong’s PDPO through AI-driven PI data discovery, DSR automation, documented accountability, enhanced visibility into data processing activities, and AI-driven process automation.

Hong Kong’s PDPO came into force on 20 December 1996, and major amendments to it took place in 2012 and 2021.
Data subjects may seek compensation by civil action from data users for damage caused by a contravention of the PDPO’s provisions.
Under the PDPO, there is no mandatory breach notification requirement for controllers, but notification to the Office of Privacy Commissioner for the Personal Data (and data subjects, where appropriate) is recommended.
The PDPO is applicable to both the private and the public sectors.
Contravention of an enforcement notice issued by the Commissioner is an offense that may result in a maximum fine of HK $50,000 and imprisonment for two years.
