Wing On Company International Limited (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), and our subsidiary and associated companies, are committed to protecting the privacy, confidentiality and security of the personal data you provide to us or that we collect about you when you visit our website www.wingon.hk (the “Site”). We set out below the privacy policy and practice regarding how we use and protect any personal data that you provided. Please read this privacy policy to understand our policy and practices and purposes for collection of your personal data.
This privacy policy specifically addresses the Company’s obligations under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of the Hong Kong) (the “PDPO”). Where the Company’s operations are subject to privacy legislation other than that of Hong Kong, then this policy shall be applied so far as applicable and consistent with such local legislation.
Generally speaking, the Site does not collect any personal data from you. However, our subsidiary or associated companies may, due to the operational needs or activities organised at the time, collect your personal data when you are browsing the websites of these subsidiary or associated companies. Please make sure that you also read and understand the individual privacy policy of our subsidiary or associated companies specifically applicable to such subsidiary or associated companies.
In some circumstances, your personal data may be requested by us and collected from you on a voluntary basis, which may include your full name and contact information that we believe to be necessary or relevant for any of the following purposes and for other purposes as may be agreed by or notified to you or required by law from time to time:
You are not obliged to supply the personal data. However, refusal to supply may result in us being unable to process your request. We will not purposely or intentionally use, disclose, transfer or sell your personal data in such circumstances which are unrelated to the above purposes without your prior consent.
Like many other websites, the Site records your visit automatically through cookies, which are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve the Site and your experience. You may refuse to accept these cookies by activating such setting on your browser. However, if you select the cookies refusal setting, you may not be able to fully experience certain features of the Site.
We may also collect information regarding your IP address, browser type, domain name and access time. This information is used for our own research purposes. As it is not linked to any personal information, it is separate from your personal data.
We may from time to time send direct marketing materials for business promotion to you based on your personal data. We will first obtain your consent or indication of no objection before doing so and suitable opt-out mechanisms will be provided in accordance with PDPO.
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorised access and use. As effective as modern security practices are, no physical or electronic security system is entirely secured. We cannot guarantee the complete security of our database, nor can we guarantee that personal data you provide will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet or otherwise. We have implemented internal guidelines to ensure as far as possible that your privacy is safeguarded at every level of the Company. We will continue considering to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies become available.
Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to the Site. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk. We shall not be liable for damages that may result from the use of electronic means of communication, including but not limited to, damages resulting from the failure or delay in delivery of electronic communications, interception or manipulation of electronic communications by third parties or by computer programmes used for electronic communications and transmission of viruses.
We take your privacy seriously. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, our policy is not to disclose any personal data to any third parties except with your prior consent or required by law. All personal data you provide to us are secured with restricted access by authorised personnel only.
We may disclose and transfer your personal data (whether in or outside Hong Kong) under strict confidence:
These subsidiary and associated companies and third parties may have their independent policies and practices in respect of the collection, use and protection of personal data. This privacy policy does not cover the policies and practices of any of these subsidiary and associated companies and third parties.
It may be necessary for the Company to transfer certain personal data to places outside Hong Kong in order to carry out the purposes or directly related purposes for which the personal data were collected. Your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside Hong Kong where we are satisfied that adequate or comparable levels of protection are in place to protect personal data held in that jurisdiction, and (where we are required to do so) with your consent.
Except where the applicable laws permit or require, we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are a minor, you may only use the Site with the permission of your parent or guardian.
If you click on the hyperlinks to the other websites, you will leave the Site and be directed to those websites that are not controlled or managed by us, this privacy policy does not apply to those other websites and those other websites may send their own cookies and/or other tracking technologies to your device and may also independently collect or solicit personal data from you. If you visit those other websites, you should consult their privacy policies before providing your personal data on those other websites. We shall not be liable in relation to your activities on those other websites.
We will only retain the personal data for so long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and for the purposes of satisfying our legal, accounting or compliance-related requirements after which it will be destroyed without further notice to you.
To determine the appropriate retention period, we will have regard to the amount, nature, sensitivity, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the personal data, the purposes for which we collect/process the personal data and the applicable legal requirements.
Subject to applicable law and our verification of your identity, you have the right to request access to, rectify, erase, limit the use or transfer of your personal data. You may also withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time. You may in certain circumstances ask us to delete your personal data, in which case, to the extent permissible by applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify your personal data.
Your requests and questions about our privacy policy and practices may be made to the Company Secretary by post to Wing On Company International Limited, 7th Floor, Wing On Centre, 211 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong and marked ‘Confidential – personal data access/ correction/ enquiries’.
In accordance with the appliable law, we have the right to charge a reasonable fee for the processing of any data access request.
This privacy policy may be revised from time to time as we deem necessary. Any changes to this privacy policy will become effective upon posting of the latest version on the Site. Your continued visit of the Site or provision of your personal data to us following the posting of the changes to the terms of our privacy policy means you agree with and accept our changes and the latest version of our privacy policy.
