The Hong Kong government today (Dec. 30) launches the "iAM Smart" one-stop personalized digital service platform to provide a new experience for the public to login and use online services with a single digital identity. The app is now available for local residents aged 11 or above to download for free.
Members of the public will be able to access more than 20 commonly used online services of the government and public utilities such as the two electricity and gas companies once they register for "iAM Smart". It is expected that by mid-2021, the number of public services accessible through the platform will increase to more than 110.
Photos of the HKIC provided and selfies taken during registration via mobile phones or at self-registration kiosks will be deleted immediately after verification of the user's identity. Other personal information provided during registration will only be used for "iAM Smart" account management. User data will be encrypted and stored in the government data center facilities to ensure data security.
"iAM Smart" aims to further promote smart government as well as the digital transformation of the entire community. The government has been actively facilitating public and private organizations joining the "iAM Smart" platform.
