香港私隐监察专员计划今年就引入强制数据泄露报告及相关处罚措施咨询立法会议员，此前该立法改革因担忧本地营商环境而于2024年搁置。个人资料私隐专员钟丽玲周六透露了该市私隐条例拟议修订细节，建议可分阶段实施这些措施。
香港私隐监察专员周六公布私隐条例拟议修订，此前政府于2024年因担心这些措施损害本地营商环境而暂停立法改革。个人资料私隐专员钟丽玲在电台访问中表示：“我们真的希望今年有一些具体建议，以便咨询立法会，”并补充说这些措施可以分阶段实施。2024年，当局搁置了一项立法改革，该改革赋予他们处罚数据泄露公司的权力。当时的宪报及内地事务局局长曾国卫建议采取“零散方法”，首先引入细微改进，以尽量减少对小企业的影响。钟丽玲表示，个人资料私隐专员公署正在考虑诸如强制报告数据泄露以及引入行政罚款等措施。该计划旨在加强个人资料保护，以应对隐私相关投诉、假招聘骗局和黑客威胁的增加。私隐监察专员希望今年通过与立法会的磋商推进这些改革，在隐私保障与商业需求之间取得平衡。
