   research purposes, if you choose to respond to, or participate in, them.

The provision of personal data by you is necessary in order for us to provide
you with the requested services and for us to perform our contractual
obligations (if any) to you (as one of the legitimate interests of HKTDC). If
you do not supply such data, we may be unable to provide the requested service.

We only retain personal data for so long as it is necessary for the fulfillment
