Hong Kong's Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data published two reports regarding privacy investigations. One report highlighted an investigation into employee privacy practices of four companies and gave recommendations for companies to safeguard employee's personal data, including suggested training and appointing a data protection officer. The PCPD determined in a separate investigation that retailer Carousell allegedly did not perform privacy risk assessments after hackers breached the personal data of 324,232 user accounts in Hong Kong.
