This information typically includes details such as your name, email address, telephone number, and contents of enquiries.
To comply with the Firm’s legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering and “know-your-customer” requirements, the Firm may collect identification and verification data such as your Hong Kong identity card or passport information and other relevant background information in the process of communication. Unless otherwise specified, the provision of your personal data is voluntary; however, where it is obligatory to supply certain data requested for legal and regulatory compliance, if you fail to provide such obligatory information, the Firm may be unable to process and follow up with your enquiries.
Additionally, this website may record certain technical information and electronic logs during your visit for administration purposes. This data collection is a standard practice for website management and is used to analyze site traffic on an aggregate basis.

The Firm retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to satisfy legal, regulatory, or accounting requirements.
