Whether it’s the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection, or simply the simplest pleasure, love encompasses a wide range of emotions and mental states. However, it’s important to note that despite the positive and intangible effects of love, there are still some negative implications that can be associated with it. Specifically, it can impact your health and wellness. Here are some tips on how to avoid these negative effects.
In Hong Kong, the data protection regime is regulated by the Personal Data Protection Policy Ordinance (PDPO). This regulation defines personal data as “data which relates to an identifiable individual, and which can be directly or indirectly identified from that information in a form which is accessible or practicable”. It’s also worth noting that this statutory framework does not apply to the activities of foreign entities.
The PDPO’s purpose is to minimize the amount of personal data collected by businesses, which in turn will allow them to carry out their functions without having to manage excess data. To do this, businesses must understand what data they’re collecting and how it will be used. Having this information in hand will ensure compliance with the PDPO and prevent data breaches.
While avoiding personal data breaches is essential for any business, it’s equally important to know what steps are needed to be taken when they occur. For example, if a breach does happen, a company will need to notify affected individuals and explain what happened. In addition, the PDPO requires that companies take steps to remediate the situation. This includes implementing a data breach response plan and providing training to employees.
Moreover, the PDPO requires companies to limit access to personal data to those who need it to perform their duties. This is a requirement that should be taken seriously and implemented across the organization. In addition to this, the PDPO makes it illegal for companies to use personal data without the consent of an individual or with insufficient safeguards.
The PDPO also protects the right to privacy of an individual by requiring that any personal data processed in Hong Kong is kept securely. Additionally, a company is not allowed to use personal data for marketing purposes unless the individual has given explicit consent to do so. Lastly, the PDPO prohibits the transfer of personal data outside of Hong Kong unless it is necessary for a legitimate purpose or there is an exemption under the PDPO.
