Matching
Procedures
During the reporting
year, the PCPD received 5 new applications for approval to carry out matching
procedures and 28 requests for re-approval to continue matching procedures
approved in previous years. All these five new applications were requested
by public sector organizations. Upon examination, one application was
found to pertain to a matching procedure which has already been approved
and therefore a separate consent is not required whereas another one was
found not to be a matching procedure as defined under the PD(P)O. In respect
of the other 3 applications, they were approved subject to certain conditions.
