Step one in downloading Hong Kong data involves determining what information you wish to download.

Hong Kong data protection is overseen by the Personal Data (Privacy) Policy Office (“PDPO”). This law establishes data subject rights and regulates collection, holding, processing and use of personal data through six data privacy principles. PDPO was initially implemented in 1996 before being significantly amended in 2012 and 2021 with important amendments such as section 33 which intended to limit transfers outside Hong Kong – however this seems increasingly unlikely since Hong Kong has always experienced increased cross-border data flows as part of our economy, thus restricting this could hinder this vital economic factor.
