Ms Ada Chung Lai-ling reappointed as Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data
***************************************************************************
"Since her appointment as the Privacy Commissioner in September 2020, Ms Chung has fully demonstrated her extensive professional knowledge and leadership skills, as well as her unwavering dedication to the work of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), leading the PCPD in addressing various increasingly complex challenges for privacy protection," a Government spokesman said.
In the past five years, Ms Chung led the PCPD in proactively strengthening the PDPO and relevant publicity and education, with a view to raising the awareness of respecting personal data privacy and fostering the culture of protecting personal data privacy. During the period, Ms Chung led the PCPD in fully supporting the Government in amending the PDPO, and setting up a division responsible for criminal investigation and prosecution, so as to effectively combat "doxxing" acts intruding into personal data privacy. To strive for a greater say on privacy protection issues in the international arena, Ms Chung also led the PCPD in strengthening connections with international and national data and privacy protection organisations, including serving as the co-chair of the Ethics and Data Protection in Artificial Intelligence Working Group and the International Enforcement Cooperation Working Group of the Global Privacy Assembly.
"We are confident that under Ms Chung's leadership, the PCPD will reach new heights in further promoting the protection and respect for personal data privacy in society, and proactively tackling challenges arising from the development of emerging technologies," the spokesman added.
