For the purposes of the relevant data protection laws in force in places

consultant offices in EU are data processor which process your personal data on
our behalf. This Statement is also part of our Terms of Use for the Site.

We respect your privacy and we promise:

   services requested by you

   data

 * information from surveys that we may, from time to time, run on the Site for
   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
