Department of Labor and Employment(DOLE)

According to DOLE, Employeasy did not have a valid contract with POLO HK and thus certain services that Employeasy provided were cancelled.

I would like to know what action DOLE and POLO HK took to safeguard, transfer, migrate, or retain the millions of data points that Employeasy received over the years that it provided contract processing and other services to POLO HK.

Employeasy received millions of personal data points of employers and employers, and I am concerned that Employeasy will abuse that data, especially now that their contract is cancelled.
