In December 2017, the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data
("PCPD") issued guidance titled Data Protection
& Business Facilitation—Guiding Principles for Small and
Medium Enterprises ("Guiding
Principles") to assist small and medium enterprises. The
Guiding Principles cover a number of areas, including: (i)
collecting customers' personal data; (ii) use of customers'
personal data; (iii) safeguarding customers' personal data;
(iv) operating online businesses or services; (v) operating
businesses outside Hong Kong; (vi) marketing of products or
services; (vii) recruitment; (viii) installing CCTV for security
purpose; (ix) collecting employees' personal data for
monitoring; (x) outsourcing the processing of personal data; and
(xi) handling data access and data correction requests.
