Privacy Commissioner Stephen Wong said on Tuesday that he was satisfied with steps being taken by Hong Kong Broadband Network to protect its customers' data, after a major hacking attack this month.
Personal information on 380,000 former customers of the firm was stolen.
The company has since pledged to delete personal data within six months of a contract being terminated, when it used to keep the information for seven years.
Wong said he is happy the data won't be stored for longer than necessary.
HKBN also said on Monday that it will remove some digits from customers' credit card and ID card numbers it stores, to make the data useless to hackers.
