Meeting for discussing the proposed implementation of Section 33 of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordiance

Section 33 of the Personal data (Privacy) Ordinance prohibits transfer of personal data to places outside Hong Kong unless specific condition is met. To assess the likely impact of the proposed implementation of Section 33 and ensure the commencement of the provision will not stifle legitimate business operations, HKSAR Government is inviting WTIA to meet the Consultant and discuss issues relevant to the proposed implementation of the Section.

Acting as the platform, aggregator and community in wireless and mobile industry, WTIA would like to invite our members to join the meeting and voice out your opinion on the Section. The meeting is tentatively scheduled to be held on mid July. For members who are interested to join, please contact Ms. Wendy Alison Yung by email.
