香港電台「自由風自由Phone」節目訪問 – 私隱專員公署就使用無人機及閉路電視系統等提供實務指引

私隱專員公署於2025年10月27日就「使用閉路電視系統、無人機及車廂攝錄機」發出了新指引。前會長暨公共關係委員會主席陳志球博士, SBS, BBS, 太平紳士於2025年10月29日在香港電台「自由風自由Phone」節目的訪問中闡述了重點。

隨著科技日益發達，閉路電視在保安或監察方面的應用越趨普及。然而，在應用時必須平衡對個人私隱的尊重。新指引強調：
✅ 進行私隱影響評估
✅ 確保收集資料的必要性、相稱性及透明度
✅ 提供清晰的告示
✅ 實施嚴格的存取控制和數據保安措施
✅ 限制資料保存期（一般保安用途通常為兩星期）

陳博士特別指出，雖然在公眾地方（例如主要出入口、電梯內、泳池範圍作救生用途）安裝閉路電視已被普遍接受，但絕對禁止在更衣室、租予業主使用的私人空間等私人區域安裝。

給會員的重要提示：

  1. 檢視現行政策： 確保您的閉路電視使用政策符合《個人資料（私隱）條例》及物業管理業監管局的《操守守則》。
  2. 保持透明溝通： 與業主及住戶就監察的目的和範圍進行溝通。
  3. 培訓員工： 制定嚴格程序，規定誰可查閱錄影片段、必須保存存取記錄，並確保僅授權人員在監督下處理相關資料。
  4. 資料保存： 遵守合理的資料保存期限，並在不需要時安全地銷毀錄影片段。

讓我們共同努力，恪守最高的私隱與保安標準！

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data issued new guidelines on October 27, 2025, regarding the “Use of CCTV Systems, Drones, and In-Vehicle Cameras.” Dr. Johnnie Chan, SBS, BBS, JP, Past President and Chairman of the Public Relations Committee, highlighted the key points during an interview on RTHK’s program on October 29, 2025.

With the increasing advancement of technology, the use of CCTV for security or surveillance purposes has become more widespread. However, its application must balance respect for personal privacy. The new guidelines emphasize:

✅ Conducting privacy impact assessments
✅ Ensuring the necessity, proportionality, and transparency of data collection
✅ Providing clear notifications
✅ Implementing strict access controls and data security measures
✅ Limiting data retention periods (generally two weeks for typical security purposes)

Dr. Chan specifically pointed out that while installing CCTV in public areas (such as main entrances, inside elevators, or pool areas for lifeguard purposes) is widely accepted, it is strictly prohibited in private areas such as changing rooms or spaces rented to property owners for private use.

Important Tips for Members:

  1. Review Current Policies: Ensure your CCTV usage policies comply with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and the Property Management Services Authority’s Code of Conduct.
  2. Maintain Transparent Communication: Communicate the purpose and scope of surveillance with property owners and residents.
  3. Train Staff: Establish strict procedures specifying who can access recordings, maintain access logs, and ensure only authorized personnel handle relevant data under supervision.
  4. Data Retention: Adhere to reasonable data retention periods and securely dispose of recordings when they are no longer needed.

Let’s work together to uphold the highest standards of privacy and security!
