What Is Data Hk?

Data hk is a collection of information about an individual and/or organisation that is processed for the purpose of providing data products or services. It includes both information about an individual’s identity, and their personal and business activities, such as purchasing behaviour. Data hk also covers information that is collected and processed by organisations for marketing purposes. This can include details such as name, address, email and phone number. Direct marketing practices are a major area of investigation and prosecution for the Privacy Commissioner, although it is expected that this will become a lower priority area of enforcement in future.

Businesses that have control over the collection, processing and use of personal data should ensure that the data complies with all relevant aspects of the PDPO. This applies even if the data is processed outside Hong Kong. Moreover, the data user can be held liable for its agents or contractors’ breaches of PDPO obligations.

A mooted change to the definition of “personal data” would broaden the scope and increase compliance measures for businesses. However, until this happens, businesses should take a thorough look at their existing obligations. This is particularly the case for businesses using technologies that learn about individuals’ behaviours or processes information which may impact them personally.

The Drama of Sydney’s Dy Pools

The famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge are just some of the city’s iconic landmarks. But a lesser-known fact is that it also has more ocean pools than any other city in the world, explains Marie-Louise McDermott, an expert who has written extensively about these swimming spots. “The city of Sydney is unique because it was built on a surf coast and people formed organisations to build ocean pools to swim in,” she says.

The sdy pools have had their share of drama, including council infighting, pork-barrelling claims and heritage concerns. The project was supposed to open in March 2021, but was delayed by the Covid pandemic and La Nina, while design and structural issues emerged. As a result, the budget has blown out to more than $100m and the opening date is now not expected until 2025 at the earliest.

It’s not just North Sydney residents frustrated by the delay. Many others are appalled by the project’s spiralling costs and say it is not in keeping with the seaside community’s values, particularly because it will have an indoor pool.

Despite the delays, campaigner Kathryn Butler, who grew up swimming at the Maroubra pool, is still fighting for the new facility. She believes the new pool will be safer and more accessible for families, elderly people and those who feel uncomfortable in the surf. She hopes it will be made from modern, sea-sensitive materials and will include a boardwalk, deckchairs, lifeguards and shade.

Aside from being a convenient and affordable way to keep fit, swimming can also be beneficial for mental health. It is said to relieve stress, lower the heart rate, increase energy levels and boost metabolism. Plus, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people and make friends.
