Phase 2 of the New Inspection Regime of the Companies Register under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) will commence on 24 October 2022 (“the Commencement Date”).
Starting from the Commencement Date, sensitive personal information (i.e. usual residential address and full identification numbers) on the Index of Directors on the Companies Register and newly delivered documents will be protected. The Registry has revised 26 specified forms which pertain to the reporting of the above sensitive personal information for use starting from the Commencement Date.
The upcoming Phase 3 would become effective from 27 December 2023. Data subjects could apply to the Registry for protecting from public inspection their Protected Information contained in documents registered with the Registry before commencement of Phase 2 (Withheld Information), and replace such information with their correspondence addresses and partial IDNs. Only 'Specified persons' could apply to the Registry for access to Withheld Information of directors and other persons.
