This privacy policy informs you about how hong-kong.info processes personal data. We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
1. Controller
The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is the company operating this portal. You will find the full contact details (company, address, authorised representatives, email) in our legal notice.
2. Hosting and server log files
When this website is accessed, the hosting service provider automatically records information transmitted by your browser in so-called server log files. As a rule, this comprises: browser type and version, the operating system used, the referrer URL, the host name of the accessing computer, the time of the server request and the IP address. This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals and is processed in order to deliver the website, to ensure stability and security, and for technical error analysis. The legal basis is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
3. Cookies and consent
This website uses cookies. Technically necessary cookies enable basic functions and are set on the basis of the legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cookies that are not technically necessary (e.g. for audience measurement or advertising) are set only with your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You manage your consent via our cookie consent banner; you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. You can also restrict or delete the storing of cookies via your browser settings.
4. Web analytics (Google Analytics 4)
Where activated, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited. It is used exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The IP address is processed in anonymised form (IP anonymisation active). The analysis serves to evaluate the use of the website and to improve what we offer. For details on how Google handles user data, please refer to Google’s privacy policy. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie banner.
Which analytics or advertising service is actually used depends on the go-live configuration. In the initial version, advertising (Google AdSense) is deactivated; web analytics is active only once it has been set up. This section is to be amended accordingly.
5. Fonts and external content
This website embeds fonts (e.g. Google Fonts) in order to ensure a consistent presentation. Where fonts are loaded from external servers, your IP address may be transmitted to the respective provider in the process. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in an appealing presentation (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your consent, in so far as this is required. The same applies to any map services or other external resources that may be embedded.
6. Contacting us
If you contact us by email or via a form, we process the data you transmit in order to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures/contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding). The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose and no statutory retention obligations preclude erasure.
7. Your rights as a data subject
Under the GDPR you have the following rights:
- Access to the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
- Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- Erasure (“right to be forgotten”, Art. 17 GDPR)
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- Objection to the processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
- Withdrawal of a consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
To exercise your rights, an informal message to the contact details given in the legal notice is sufficient.
8. Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other legal remedies, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence or of the alleged infringement.
9. SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” in your browser’s address bar.
10. Currency and changes
This privacy policy will be amended as soon as the legal or technical framework changes. The version published on this page at any given time applies.
