Hong Kong’s Personal Data Protection Ordinance (PDPO) defines personal data as any information concerning living individuals that allows one to identify them. Any use of personal data without their consent for direct marketing purposes without their knowledge is considered unlawful and can incur fines of up to HK$500,000 and imprisonment of up to three years as punishment.

Privacy Commissioner investigations and prosecutions pertaining to direct marketing practices have been brought by their office, leading to numerous investigations and prosecutions being filed by them.
