The Client has the right to request the Company to give the Client access to and correct the Client’s personal data as set out in the PDPO. In general, and subject to certain exemptions, the Client is entitled to:

If the Client wishes to request access to, correction of and/or deletion of personal data concerning the Client, the Client should make a written request and address the Client’s request to the Data Protection Officer at the Company. The Company will only accept requests given directly by the Client or its Authorized Persons. The Company may charge a reasonable fee for processing any such request.

4. Protective measures

It is the policy of the Company to ensure an appropriate level of protection for personal data in order to prevent unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use of that data, commensurate with the sensitivity of the data and the harm that would be caused by the occurrence of any of the aforesaid events. Measures are taken to ensure integrity, prudence and competence of persons having access to personal data. If the Company engages a data processor (whether within or outside Hong Kong) to process personal data on behalf of the Company, the Company would adopt contractual or other means to prevent unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use of the data transferred. The Company takes all practicable steps to ensure that personal data is not kept longer than is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes for which such data is or is to be used.
