Final
Principles of Personal Data Protection
6.
The Participants recognise the need to protect and prevent misuse of an
individual’s personal data and will endeavour to take into account and implement in
their domestic laws and regulations the following Personal Data Protection
Principles (the “Principles”) in accordance with this Framework:
Consent, Notification and Purpose
(a)
(b)
An organisation should not collect, use or disclose personal data
about an individual unless:
(i)
the individual has been notified of and given consent to the
purpose(s) of the collection, use or disclosure of his/her
personal data; or
(ii)
the collection, use or disclosure without notification or consent
is authorised or required under domestic laws and regulations.
An organisation may collect, use or disclose personal data about an
individual only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider
appropriate in the circumstances.
Accuracy of Personal Data
(c)
The personal data should be accurate and complete to the extent
necessary for the purpose(s) for which the personal data is to be
used or disclosed.
Security Safeguards
(d)
The personal data should be appropriately protected against loss and
unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying,
modification, destruction or similar risks.
Access and Correction
(e)
Upon request by an individual, an organisation should:
(i)
provide the individual access to his/her personal data which is
in the possession or under the control of the organisation
within a reasonable period of time; and
(ii)
correct an error or omission in his personal data, unless
domestic laws and regulations require or authorise the
organisation not to provide access or correct the personal data
in the particular circumstances.
