Hong Kong is an attractive market for global businesses, due to its strategic location, well-established legal and regulatory framework, free market system, free flow of capital and simplified tax regime. Due to these characteristics, many international firms with substantial regional operations and global reach call Hong Kong home. Yet with this comes unique challenges associated with operating within this region – one being complying with local data protection regulations.

Although the local Personal Data Protection Officer does not impose legal restrictions on cross-border transfers of personal data, its extensive and robust guidance offers multiple safeguards to secure such transfers. Padraig Walsh from Tanner De Witt’s Data Privacy practice group highlights some key considerations for organizations looking to make international transfers of their personal data.

An important consideration in the implementation of the PDPO is the definition of “data user.” Under its provisions, this term refers to individuals or joint controllers who manage the collection, holding, processing or use of personal information – whether alone or jointly with others – in Hong Kong or otherwise. This doesn’t have to mean physically collecting it here: photos taken of crowds attending concerts do not count as personal data as these cannot be used to identify individuals in them – similarly with CCTV recordings, logs of persons entering car parks and meeting records which do.

The PDPO contains numerous obligations on data users regarding the collection, storage and use of personal information. One such obligation is providing certain information prior to or upon collection (DPP1 and DPP3) from data subjects (DPP1 and DPP3); typically this is accomplished by providing them with a PICS when collecting their personal data – according to this obligation, PICSs must include information such as its purpose for being collected as well as what type of parties this data may be shared with.

As part of its obligations under DPP7, data exporters must determine if foreign jurisdiction’s laws and practices meet Hong Kong standards (DPP7). If not, data exporter must implement additional safeguards – whether technical, contractual or other means – in order to meet Hong Kong standards of protection for its data exported abroad.

Though understanding local data privacy laws is essential, seeking expert advice when considering any cross-border transfer is crucial to ensure compliance and avoid penalties imposed for noncompliance. An experienced data privacy lawyer can guide your company through this process to ensure full compliance.

Domino is an ancient game of chance and skill played with dominoes – flat tiles bearing two to six dots or pips on each side – typically used in making lines or patterns and providing the basis of many popular games.

Dominoes were first invented in China during the 12th and 13th centuries, where they worked similarly to playing cards while having a different design. Some early sets even featured painted pieces with icons to help identify them by players; later dominoes became more standardised, replacing their pips with numbers; dominoes come in many shapes and sizes but all share one common design principle.

People of all ages enjoy playing dominoes for fun; others use dominoes as art installations that range from simple domino games to exquisite art installations that can be as intricate or simple as desired. Examples of such artworks can include straight or curved lines, grids that form pictures when the pieces fall, towers or pyramids and more complex 3D structures such as towers or pyramids. To create one yourself, draw out your design on paper using arrows that indicate where pieces should fall before figuring out how many dominoes you need before timing everything out accordingly – it might take awhile!

Hevesh, with over 2 million subscribers on YouTube, is an acclaimed domino artist known for her stunning installations. Before beginning a piece, she considers its theme or purpose and draws images or words related to it before arranging its pieces according to her preference – large setups often taking several minutes before crumbling!

Hevesh tested her layout before playing to see how well it would hold up in practice. If everything goes according to plan, Hevesh began counting points for each domino by tallying up touching ends (one touching one end, two touching two ends etc.). If any remaining domino remained in her hand after losing, that domino would then be added to the boneyard before starting another round.

Domino’s has maintained its core values even through controversies, such as food safety incidents that led to multiple store closings. Domino’s leadership have prioritized listening to employees since David Brandon took over from longtime CEO Tom Doyle in 2011. Brandon quickly put new changes in place, such as relaxed dress codes and increased employee training programs.

Domino’s embraces technology by creating an Innovation Garage to develop cutting-edge ways of delivering food and other products. They collaborated with crowd-sourced auto designers on designing a special delivery car, the DXP, which has been called “a cheese lover’s Batmobile.” Domino’s also offers online ordering, mobile apps and self-service kiosks in addition to traditional delivery of pizza.
