Certified Information Privacy Professional – Asia (CIPP/A) — Question 46

In Hong Kong, which of the following are exempt from personal data access requests until after the project to which the data is related has been concluded?

Answer options

• A. Hospital administrators.
• B. Financial institutions.
• C. News organizations.
• D. Non-profit groups.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

News organizations are exempt from personal data access requests until the project they are involved in is finished, as their work often requires confidentiality until publication. Hospital administrators, financial institutions, and non-profit groups do not share this exemption, as they are typically required to provide access to personal data irrespective of project completion.
