the principles and obligations set out in the Personal Data
(Privacy) Ordinance.
Our Privacy Policy
When the HAC collects information from you, it is our policy
to meet fully the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy)
Ordinance which regulates the treatment of personal data.
Personal data is any information relating to any living individual
from which it is possible to identify that individual. In
dealing with personal data, we will ensure compliance by our
staff with the standards of security and confidentiality prescribed
by law.
This Statement explains our practice in relation to the collection,
retention, storage and sharing of personal data.

The HAC will occasionally collect personal data from you which
will be processed for the specific purpose which will be given
at the time or for any purposes stated in this Privacy Policy
Statement. Such purposes may include fulfillment of your specific
requests or applications relating to our services, the processing
of your complaints, enquiries or feedback, or the collection
of information in connection with the use of conference or
services maintained by the HAC. The provision of personal
data or any information is voluntary, however, any failure
to supply all information requested by the HAC may result
in our being unable to process your requests fully or at all.
