The right to rectification

We may hold incomplete or incorrect information and you can ask for rectification. Before we update the information, we may need to check the accuracy of the information.

- you have provided to our website.

You can make a portability request at any time when the processing of your data:
- relies on your consent to use your personal data, or
- uses your data as part of a contract you have with us.

Your rights relating to decisions being made about you without human involvement

You have the right:

Automated decisions in regard to personal data

We may make automated decisions about you.

We do this so that our services are efficient and to ensure that decisions are fair, consistent and based on the right information.

Transfers outside European Economic Area (EEA)

As we target our services worldwide, we may need to transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in order for us to provide our services. All your data will be stored on our servers, in Hong Kong, so there will be an international transfer outside EU/EEA. We signed standard contractual clauses in accordance with European Data Protection Legislation.

The security of personal data

Electronic data and databases are stored on secure computer systems with control over access to information using both physical and electronic means. Our staff receives data protection and information security training. We have detailed security and data protection policies which the staff are required to follow when they handle your personal data.

While we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data will be kept secure, we cannot guarantee it will be secure during transmission by you to our website. We use HTTPS (HTTP Secure), where the communication protocol is encrypted through Transport Layer Security for secure communication over networks and site.

When you use our services, which includes our social network accounts, we advise not to share any personal data that you don't want to be seen, collected or used because these information will become publicly available.

After we launch the app, an updated Privacy Policy will apply that will be brought to your attention.

Updates to the Policy

If we change the way we use your personal data, we will update this Privacy Policy and, if appropriate, we will inform you through our website.
