Certified Information Privacy Professional – Asia (CIPP/A) — Question 85

Hong Kong's definition of a data user in the original PDPO applies to all of the following EXCEPT?

Answer options

• A. Trust corporations.
• B. Third-party processors.
• C. Private sector organizations.
• D. Limited liability partnerships.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as third-party processors are usually considered data processors rather than data users under the PDPO. Trust corporations, private sector organizations, and limited liability partnerships are all categorized as data users, thus making them subject to the regulations outlined in the PDPO.
