Document background
The Info Release Form serves as a crucial legal instrument in Hong Kong's data protection landscape, designed to facilitate the authorized sharing of personal or confidential information while ensuring compliance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and related regulations. This document becomes necessary when one party needs to share specific information with another party, whether for business, medical, educational, or other professional purposes. The form typically covers the nature of information being shared, intended use, duration of authorization, and the rights and obligations of all parties involved. It's particularly important in Hong Kong's business environment, where data privacy requirements are strictly regulated and cross-border data transfers are common. The Info Release Form provides a structured approach to managing information disclosure while maintaining legal compliance and protecting the interests of all parties involved.
