Personal data, according to the PDPO, refers to any information which allows an identifiable individual to be directly or indirectly identified from it and can easily be processed for access and processing. This definition encompasses data regarding an individual’s identity and location – for instance their name, nationality, gender, job title, date of birth, contact details and any personal opinions or behaviour whether true or not.
At times, certain personal data can be exempted from legal requirements. Examples include information necessary for protecting Hong Kong’s security, defence and international relations; crime prevention/detection/assessment or collection of tax/dutie; preventive health care treatment/prevention activities/news activities or legal proceedings – usually when this exemption is necessary to safeguard personal data.
Data that has been lawfully collected falls under the purview of Hong Kong’s Personal Data Protection Ordinance (PDPO), even when processed outside Hong Kong.

An online mobile network scanner can help ensure compatibility; additionally there is also a list of approved networks in Hong Kong on their official government website.
