Privacy and Data Protection Law by Benjamin Wong | 2026*

The field of privacy and data protection law has undergone substantial development over the past decade. A decade ago, significant legislation such as the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and the Protection from Harassment Act (PHA) had only recently been introduced and brought into operation. At that time, there was relatively little case law available, with only a limited number of cases, particularly those concerning the former provisions on modesty under the Penal Code. Since then, the legal landscape has changed considerably. An extensive body of case law has developed under both the PDPA and PHA, while the Penal Code has also been updated, including through the introduction of additional protections relating to privacy.

This book provides an introduction to this rapidly developing area of law. In relation to data protection, it is intended to complement, rather than replace, the comprehensive and authoritative guidelines published by the Personal Data Protection Commission. The book also aims to assist readers in understanding and navigating the relevant body of case law, although it does not claim to provide a complete or exhaustive treatment of all such decisions.
