To comply with the Part VI A under the Personal Data Privacy Amendment (www.pco.org.hk) Ordinance 2012 and other related government ordinances which may apply to privacy, we would like to bring your attention to our privacy policy as stated below.

We collect personal information to open your account(s), to process your transactions and to help us provide a better level of service. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

We protect the security and confidentiality of the personal information we collect. Our relationship with you is our most important asset. We understand that you have entrusted us with your private financial information, and we do everything we can to maintain that trust.

This Privacy Policy Statement (“Statement”) is in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Ordinance”). The Statement is intended to notify you what personal data is collected and why, how it will be used, how long we keep the data, what are our security measures and how access requests are to be addressed. “Personal data” means any personally identifying information as more particularly defined in the Ordinance.

Details of our approach to privacy and how your personal information is collected and used are set forth below.

Our privacy policy is as follows:

2. We do not disclose personal information to third parties, unless one of the following limited exceptions applies:

We disclose personal information to companies that help us process or service your transactions or account(s), including companies that print and mail your account statements.

In order to serve you better, we may disclose personal information, such as account and transaction data, to affiliates and other companies we work with on your behalf, including financial institutions. We have contracts with these companies that prohibit them from using your personal information for their own purposes.

We may disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required or permitted under law, for example, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, resolve consumer disputes, perform credit and authentication checks, or for institutional risk control.

Outside of these exceptions, we will not share your personal information with third parties without your prior approval.
