The most important aspect of building a data governance program is getting the right people in place to support it. This means identifying the roles that will sponsor, steward and operationalize your data governance framework. A strong data governance team includes both business and IT subject matter experts. These individuals must be able to communicate effectively and serve as bridges between IT and the business. Data analysts and senior business systems architects are strong candidates for this role. A data governance leader coordinates tasks and helps communicate decisions made by stewards. This person is also the primary point of escalation to the executive sponsor and steering committee.
According to the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (“PDPO”), personal data includes information relating to a living individual from which it is practicable for the individual to be identified, whether the information is in a form that is identifiable or not. It also encompasses information about legal entities.
However, the PDPO does not require that a data user disclose an individual’s personal data to a law enforcement agency or other body. It does, however, list some grounds on which a data user may rely as defense to a claim that the disclosure of an individual’s personal data without their consent for a new purpose is unlawful.
