Hong Kong legislation has  been passed relating to the collection, use and storage of personal data on  individuals called the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (the  "Ordinance"). The notice is addressed to our existing and prospective  individual clients and other individuals from whom any of the above companies  (in any capacity) (a "Company" or the "Companies") collect  personal information.  
                         
                          Privacy Promise for Consumers 
                           
                          While information is the cornerstone of our ability to provide superior  service, our most important asset is our customers' trust. Keeping customer  information secure, and using it only as our customers would want us to, is a  top priority for all of us. Here then, is our promise to our individual  customers:  
                          
                            
                              - We will safeguard, according to strict standards of security  and confidentiality, any information our customers share with us. 
 
                              - We will limit the collection and use of customer information  to the minimum we require to deliver superior service to our customers, which  includes advising our customers about our products, services and other  opportunities, and to administer our business. 
 
                              - We will permit only authorized employees, who are trained in  the proper handling of customer information, to have access to that  information. Employees who violate our Privacy Promise will be subject to our  normal disciplinary process. 
 
                              - We will not reveal customer information to any external  organization unless we have previously informed the customer in disclosures or  agreements, been authorized by the customer, or are required by law or our  regulators. 
 
                              - We will always maintain control over the confidentiality of  our customer information. We may, however, facilitate relevant offers from  reputable companies. These companies are not permitted to retain any customer  information unless the customer has specifically expressed interest in their  products or services. 
 
                              - At any time, customers can contact us to remove their names  from such lists. 
 
                              - Whenever we hire other organizations to provide support  services, we will require them to conform to our policy standards and to allow  us to audit them for compliance. 
 
                              - We will not use or share - internally or externally -  personally identifiable medical information for any purpose other than the  underwriting or administration of a customer's policy, claim or account, or as  disclosed to the customer when the information is collected, or to which the  customer consents. 
 
                              - We will attempt to keep customer files complete, up to date,  and accurate. We will tell our customers how and where to conveniently access  their account information (except when we're prohibited by law), and how to  notify us about errors which we will promptly correct. 
 
                             
                            We will continuously assess ourselves to ensure that  customer privacy is respected. We will conduct our business in a manner that  fulfills our Promise in the many nations in which we do business.  |
