It is widely reported that certain officers in POLO HK disclosed personal data about individuals who complained about certain agencies. Indeed, it is reported that POLO HK provided NIETES Alecar Bacus of CMAK Consultancy of personal data of OFWs, including the name, address, phone number, passport details, and other personal details. For public interest purposes, I would like to obtain a copy of POLO HK's policies on handling personal data and when personal data will be released to third parties without authorization.
