The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance

The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance forms the backbone of online privacy law in Hong Kong and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and how it should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

We will notify you via email within 7 business days.

We also agree to the principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance puts parents in control. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong, enforces the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

To be in accordance with The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, we agree to the following:

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at info@foodfolk.hk and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
