Why do we need to seek the consent of staff members?

The University is required by law not to use/disclose personal data of its members (including staff and students) without the individual's consent for any purpose other than those for which such data were collected or a directly related purpose. For staff members whose information has been published in the Contact Directory, it is deemed that their consent has already been given.

6

Who should give consent in a consent form?

Those requiring to sign a consent form are: (a) new employees; and (b) existing employees whose contact information has not been included in the Contact Directory 2009.

Who can be listed in the OCD?

In principle, it is up to the department/office/unit concerned to decide whom to include in the OCD. Thus, the department/office/unit may include honorary staff or even non-CUHK people (people not on CUHK payroll or not in any way contractually related to CUHK) whose contact information the department/office/unit thinks is relevant to its operation, provided always that they have given their consent.

Will the printed version of Contact Directory be published in the future?

The data of the OCD will be captured each year for compiling the printed version of Contact Directory.

Listed below are the duties of OCDA

The OCD Administrator (OCDA) should be responsible for maintaining a reasonably updated database of contact information of the staff members in his/her department/office/unit which will appear in the Online Contact Directory (OCD).

To comply with the privacy law in Hong Kong, the OCDA should request new staff member whose contact information has not been included in the printed version of Contact Directory 2010 in his/her department/office/unit to sign a consent form authorising the display of such data in the OCD.

The OCDA should not enter any contact information of a staff member in the OCD without consent. The OCDA should keep a record of all the consent forms. Where a staff member has revoked consent for displaying his/her contact information in the OCD, the OCDA should immediately remove such information from the OCD.

The OCDA should make the best endeavours to ensure the accuracy of the contact information in his/her control. He/she should also notify the Information Services Office of any change in the name of the department/office/unit and/or any re-organisation thereof and cause the corresponding changes to be made in the database.

The head of a department/office/unit should notify the Information Services Office of any change in the appointment of OCDA in his/her department/office/unit as soon as is practicable.
