CHAPTER 486
PERSONAL DATA (PRIVACY) ORDINANCE
Part III - CODES OF PRACTICE
12. Approval of codes
of practice by Commissioner (cont.)
| (6) |
References in this Ordinance
to an approved code of practice are references to that
code as it has effect for the time being by virtue of
any revision of the whole or any part of it approved
under this section.
|
| |
|
| (7) |
The power of the Commissioner under subsection (1)(b) to approve a code
of practice issued or proposed to be issued otherwise than by him shall
include power to approve a part of such a code and, accordingly, in this
Ordinance "code of practice" (
) may be read as including a part of such a code.
|
| |
|
| (8) |
The Commissioner shall, not later than 6 months after
the day on which this section comes into operation (or
within such further period, not exceeding 6 months,
as the Secretary for Home Affairs may allow), approve
a code of practice under subsection (1) in respect of
all or any requirements referred to in that subsection
in so far as such requirements relate to personal data
which are personal identifiers.
|
| |
|
| (9) |
The Commissioner shall, before approving a code of
practice under subsection (1) or any revision or proposed
revision of the code under subsection (3), consult with-
| (a)
|
such bodies representative of data users to which
the code or the code as so revised, as the case
may be, will apply (whether in whole or in part);
and
|
| |
|
| (b) |
such other interested persons,
|
as he thinks fit.
|
| |
|
| (10) |
For the avoidance
of doubt, it is hereby declared that different codes of
practice may be approved under subsection (1) (including
any code of practice referred to in subsection (8)) for
different classes of data users, and may be so approved
for the same or different requirements referred to in
subsection (1). |
