PCPD Publishes 2023-24 Annual Report
The 2023-24 Annual Report of the Office of the Privacy
Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) was tabled in the Legislative
Council today.
Our 2023-24 Annual Report, themed “Ensuring
Data Security to Promote a Digital Economy”, presents the immense
breadth and scale of actions undertaken by the PCPD over the reporting
year to safeguard personal data privacy in the ever-evolving digital
landscape, with the aim of promoting a digital economy.
Recognising the paramount importance of artificial
intelligence (AI) security, the PCPD has collaborated with its
international counterparts to tackle the thorniest privacy risks
associated with AI during the reporting year. On the enforcement
front, the PCPD’s actions have continued to expand and grow, leading
to a record-breaking surge in compliance actions, criminal
investigations and arrests. Within the Greater Bay Area, the PCPD has
actively facilitated cross-boundary flow of personal data,
contributing to the continuous growth of the digital economy in the
Mainland.
Additionally, the PCPD instigated 152 criminal
investigations in relation to doxxing offences in 2023-24, nearly
doubling the number of the previous year. The PCPD also conducted 26
arrest operations, resulting in the arrest of 27 individuals. A total
of 9,227 doxxing messages were removed after the PCPD had served
cessation notices on operators of online platforms, achieving a high
removal rate of over 95%.
