Please read this Statement to understand our policy and practices and purposes for collection of your personal data.
Generally speaking, our websites do not collect any personal data from you. However, Tai Cheung Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries may, due to the operational needs or activities organized at the time, collect your personal data when you are browsing the webpages or websites of these subsidiaries or activities. Please make sure that you also read and understand the individual PPS(s) and/or PICS(s) of our subsidiaries or the activities to be engaged by you with us, if any, specifically applicable to such subsidiaries and the relevant activities.
You should read and understand our PPS(s) and PICS(s) now and again as these PPS(s) and/or PICS(s) may be revised from time to time as we deem necessary.
The PPS(s) and/or PICS(s) as mentioned only apply to us. If you click on any hyperlink linking to another website, you will leave our websites for another location. We shall not be responsible for the privacy and security practices or the content of such websites and you should always check the privacy policy of all websites you click in.
If you interact with us on any social media platforms, we can interact with you according to the rules of the social media platforms, for example, sending messages to you via the platforms. We are not responsible for how the social media operators collect, handle or use your personal information or what third parties post on our social media platforms.
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.
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.
We may from time to time send direct marketing materials for business promotion to users/customers based on their personal information. 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 the Ordinance.
We strive to ensure compliance by our staff with the strictest standards of security and confidentiality.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized 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 data you supply 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 our organization. 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 our website. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use appropriate security measures to seek to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.
We may disclose and transfer your personal data (whether in Hong Kong or abroad), under strict confidence, to our agents or contractors who provide administrative, data processing, market research, distribution, telecommunications, professional or other similar services to us and to any of our actual or proposed assignees or transferees of our rights with respect to you in connection with a proposed or progressing merger, sale or transfer (whether of assets or shares), to use, hold, process or retain such personal data for the purposes stated above. These third parties may have their independent policies and practices in respect of the collection, use and protection of personal data. This Statement does not cover the policies and practices of any third parties.
To determine the appropriate retention period, we will have regard to the amount, nature, sensitivity, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal data, the purposes for which we collect/process the personal data and the applicable legal requirements.
In accordance with the Ordinance, we have the right to charge a reasonable fee for the processing of any data access request.
