The External Privacy Notice is a mandatory document for organizations operating in Hong Kong that collect, process, or handle personal data. This document is required under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) and must be provided to data subjects (such as customers, users, or website visitors) before or at the time of data collection. The notice should clearly explain the organization's data handling practices, ensuring transparency and compliance with Hong Kong's privacy laws. It must cover essential elements including data collection purposes, retention periods, third-party sharing, and data subject rights. The External Privacy Notice serves as both a compliance tool and a trust-building mechanism with stakeholders, requiring regular updates to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements.
