PRIVACY

Your privacy is important to us. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you of how Private Sanctuary Limited and its affiliates (collectively referred to as "us", "we" or "our") collect, use and process your personal data in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“ PDPO”), the associated regulations and guidelines as may from time to time be issued by the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong.

For the purpose of the GDPR, Private Sanctuary Limited, whose address is at 1F, 28 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Hong Kong, are the controllers who determine the purposes and means of processing of your personal data collected through websites owned and/or operated by us or on our behalf (collectively, “our websites”) or other channels described in paragraph 2 of this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use, disclose and/or process the personal data you have provided to us, as well as to help you to make an informed decision before providing us with your personal data.

1. Introduction
We intend to collect, use, process and disclose your personal data in the manner set forth in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect
There are two broad categories of information that we collect from you – (A) personal data and online identifiers and (B) non-personal data.
A. Personal Data and Online Identifiers
1. "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly.
2. We collect certain types of personal data, including your name, gender, date of birth, identification numbers, company (if applicable), contact information (e.g. address, phone number, email address), payment information (e.g. credit or debit card information), photographs and video footages taken at events organized by us and/or our business partners and any other information which you may provide in any forms submitted to us or via other forms of interaction with us.
3. Personal data is collected by us in various circumstances, including the following:
  • When you register for or use any of our services on our websites (e.g. subscription to our magazine(s) or e-newsletter);
  • When you register as a member of our websites or use services on our websites;
  • When you take part in any contest, survey or promotion conducted by us and/or our business partners;

We may not process your order for goods and/or services, and no contract for provision of such goods and/or services will be formed, if you do not supply the personal data required on our relevant order/subscription forms.
5. We may also obtain personal data about you from other sources and combine it with information you provide to us. If you provide us with any personal data relating to a third party (e.g. information of spouse, children, parents, employees and/or authorized representatives), by submitting such information to us, you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of the third party to you providing us with their personal data for the respective purposes.
