Cantonese Session - Webinar on Compliance of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance for NGOs

Event Date

NGOs handle large volume of personal data in everyday operations, from personal particulars of service users, volunteers, donors, to photos taken at events and videos of surveillance cameras in service units, etc. Without careful handling of the data, agencies may face the risk of breaching the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) (the Ordinance), which will not only infringe the privacy of stakeholders, but also harm the reputation of the organization. The risk is even higher nowadays as a lot of personal data is collected online and stored in digital format with serious security concern.  

With the coronavirus outbreak and public health recommendations of physical distancing, working from home and the use of digital communications tools have become a new normal.  Under such circumstance, has your organisation put in place personal data protection guidelines and protocols to guard against the risks of possible breach of the Ordinance?

To facilitate better understanding of personal data protection, the Council has collaborated with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as the knowledge partner in developing the Personal Data Privacy Toolkit for NGOs. The upcoming webinars will be conducted in Cantonese and English respectively, where PwC's Risk Assurance Team will present the toolkit and share their experience in supporting organizations to comply with the Ordinance. Details as follows:
