Speaker: 
Allan Chiang, Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data

Mr. Allan Chiang was appointed as the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data in August 2010. Despite his relatively short service as the Privacy Commissioner, Mr. Chiang has successfully tackled a number of important privacy issues in Hong Kong.

Following some major incidents of serious contraventions of the Personal Data Ordinance in 2010, Mr. Chiang was instrumental in the revision of privacy policies and practices of many corporate data users to ensure compliance with the privacy Law. He is presently advising the Hong Kong Government on the overhaul of the Ordinance to ensure adequate protection to personal data in a changing privacy landscape.

The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance was brought into force in 1996. The purpose of the Ordinance is to protect the privacy of individuals in relation to personal data.

Mr. Allan Chiang was appointed as the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data in August 2010. Prior to this, Mr. Chiang had a civil service career of 33 years. He retired as the Postmaster General in 2006, after having successfully transformed the Post Office from a traditional government department to a profitable trading fund operation. From 2007 to 2009, he was the Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Design Centre.
