Whether Google LLC Acted in Breach of DPP 2 or Section 26
By reason of the Board's conclusion on the issue of extra-territorial
effect of the Ordinance, it is strictly not necessary for the Board to express
any views on whether Google LLC acted in contravention of DPP2 or in
breach of section 26 of the Ordinance for failing to erase the personal data
of the Appellant from the search engine upon his request. Furthermore,
since any concrete conclusions on the above matters may affect the
reputation of both the Appellant and Google LLC, there is more the reason
for the Board to refrain from making any findings as a matter of dicta.
However, since the parties have made full submissions on the issue, the
Board will briefly address the legal issues of the "right to be forgotten" and
application of the 13 criteria set out in the UK case of NT1 & NT2.

“All practicable
steps must be taken to ensure that personal data is
not kept longer than is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose
(including any directly related purpose) for which the data is or is
to be used;”
