Privacy Commissioner’s Office Launches “Privacy-Friendly Awards 2025”

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) is pleased to announce the launch of “Privacy-Friendly Awards 2025” (Awards) today (13 January). Enterprises, public and private organisations as well as government departments are invited to apply for the Awards.

The Awards this year, with the theme of “Safeguarding Data Security: Marching towards a New Digital Era”, aim to recognise the commitment and efforts of organisations in the protection of personal data privacy, while encouraging them to implement good data governance and enhancing their awareness of protecting personal data privacy and data security.

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Ms Ada CHUNG Lai- ling, said, “Data security is the cornerstone of digital economy. Good data governance not only helps organisations to enhance their competitiveness and gain trust from customers and business partners, but also contributes to building a safer and healthier digital economy for an advanced smart city. In this digital era, the PCPD has been advocating for organisations to establish a Personal Data Privacy Management Programme to better protect personal data privacy and enhance data security. ”

Five specified “Privacy Protection Measures” are required to win the Awards. Participating organisations that have implemented designated “Privacy Protection Measures” will be eligible for a Privacy-Friendly Award from the four tiers of Outstanding Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards. Besides, three new special awards, namely the “Best AI Governance Award”, “Best Data Protection Officer Award” and “Best Data Breach Response Plan Award”, are introduced to commend organisations for their outstanding performance in various aspects of the protection of personal data privacy.

In addition to receiving trophies and certificates, awardees may also display the award logo on their official websites, online platforms and promotional materials, as well as enjoy a one- year free membership of the PCPD Data Protection Officers’ Club, and receive a specified number of complimentary passes to attend the professional workshops organised by the PCPD. Outstanding performers will also be invited to participate in publicity activities to showcase their achievements in the protection of personal data privacy.

Interested organisations should complete and submit the online application form and provide relevant supporting documents on the Awards website www. pcpd. org. hk/privacyfriendlyawards. html on or before 7 March 2025.

The results of the Awards and details of the Awards Presentation Ceremony will be announced later.
