Data hk is Hong Kong’s portal for open government data, offering easy access and exploration of public datasets in an intuitive format. Researchers and developers alike will find Data hk an indispensable resource. Besides public data access and exploration capabilities, users can create and share charts, tables and maps that can be used for analysis, presentation or communication purposes – providing researchers with all they need in a convenient and user-friendly format.

Organizations across Hong Kong have already launched data hk services, such as iBDG. This unified platform aims to facilitate information and resource exchange regarding data governance issues, foster collaboration between various stakeholders, and strengthen Hong Kong as an international data hub.

Concerns have been expressed over data hk’s security measures and policies surrounding personal data protection. To safeguard against cyber threats and ensure a consistent experience for visitors, an explicit policy on handling sensitive information must also be in place.

An effective data management plan in today’s digital economy demands new levels of data administration in order to unlock its full potential and bring prosperity worldwide. Therefore, it is imperative that individuals carefully consider how best to utilize data resources by instituting an appropriate governance system with clear policies to address any potential threats or vulnerabilities and effectively manage them.

Datahk will have profound ramifications for both large and small businesses alike, necessitating revision of existing compliance frameworks. Companies who handle personal data will need to conduct data audits to identify and classify what types of information they process as well as create retention and breach notification policies and conduct regular data audits; furthermore they must review contractual arrangements with overseas counterparts as well as comply with any statutory obligations in terms of cross-border data transfers from Hong Kong.

Numerous countries have already implemented restrictions on data transfers, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) in Europe and Japan’s Act on Protection of Personal Information; Australia may follow suit later this year by passing similar legislation.

PDPO does not currently place any legal restrictions on the transfer of personal data outside Hong Kong; however, a person is considered a data user if he controls the collection, holding, processing and use of personal data (whether within or outside Hong Kong) for personal gain; this also includes transfers between entities controlled by them either within or without Hong Kong.

iBDG has prepared a set of model contractual clauses to assist enterprises with fulfilling the statutory obligations in regards to cross-border transfers from Hong Kong. These can be adopted by medium-sized enterprises as separate agreements or schedules of their main commercial agreements; additionally, adopting this GBA standard contract will reduce compliance costs significantly while helping enterprises do business across Greater Bay Area regions more cost efficiently.
