******************************************************************************************
     The Digital Policy Office (DPO) has won the Outstanding Gold Award in the Privacy-Friendly Awards 2025 organised by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong. This prestigious recognition fully affirms the DPO's outstanding achievements in personal data privacy protection and safeguarding data security.

     Attending the award presentation ceremony today (July 10), the Commissioner for Digital Policy, Mr Tony Wong, said, "While the DPO has always strictly complied with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, it also actively promotes and optimises data governance policies and measures, ensures personal data privacy and at the same time facilitates data interchanges to deliver more innovative and user-friendly digital government services. This award is a professional recognition of the team's efforts in balancing digital development and privacy protection." Mr Wong expressed his gratitude to the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data and the judging committee of the Awards for their acknowledgement.

     The theme of this year's Awards was "Safeguarding Data Security: Marching towards a New Digital Era", which aimed to recognise the efforts and commitment of enterprises, public and private organisations as well as government departments in the protection of personal data privacy. The event also served to encourage organisations to strengthen data governance and enhance their awareness of personal data privacy and data security. Awardees were evaluated against five specified privacy protection measures, which were the key assessment criteria.
