Certified Information Privacy Professional – Asia (CIPP/A) — Question 49

Which of the following is NOT a substantial source of privacy protection for Hong Kong citizens?

Answer options

• A. The Communications and Surveillance Ordinance.
• B. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
• C. The Bill of Rights Ordinance.
• D. The Basic Law.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Communications and Surveillance Ordinance primarily governs surveillance activities rather than protecting privacy, making it less substantial in terms of privacy rights. In contrast, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Bill of Rights Ordinance, and the Basic Law all provide significant frameworks for safeguarding individual privacy rights.
