MACAU SAR, CHINA Trends and Developments Contributed by: Pedro Cortés and Luís Rôlo, Lektou – Advogados e Notários

The PDPB is expected to continue promoting multiple awareness actions to ensure that local operators are in compliance with the PIPL requirements. e-Government Macau has introduced a growing number of e-Gov - ernment services, covering multiple areas of the administrative procedures of the residents. The different services are being brought together into a unified platform, the “Macau One Account” making them available online via mobile phone. This has been developed to enable residents to pro - duce a growing list of documents (eg, ID, driver’s licence) only by exhibiting their digital version.

The processing of the relevant personal data is sub - ject to the PDPA. As a number of e-services require the combination of data held by two or more different public departments, the organic regulations of these departments, some specific acts or PDPB authorisa - tions, provide the legal grounds for such combination. The trend for expanding the “Macau One Account” platform is likely to continue over the near future.
