The Hong Kong Web Symposium Consortium pledges to meet fully internationally recognized standards of personal data privacy protection in complying with the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. The following information is given to promote good practice in relation to on-line protection of privacy, based on the suggestion of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data in December 1998.
When you visit the homepage of our web site we record your visit only as a "hit" and do not collect any personally identifiable information from you. The software on our server makes a record of your visit that shows only the Domain Name Server address part of your e-mail address, not your name before it, e.g. "coolmail.com" from an e-mail address of "PeterWong@coolmail.com", and only discloses to us later the aggregate information about the number and types of visitors by reference to their Domain Name Server address. This information is used by us only for preparing general statistics on the usage of our website.
When you register for the Symposium or apply for membership, you will be asked to complete an on-line form with some personal details. Please appreciate that we will need such information for our own record-keeping purposes. We will not release your data to others for any other purpose, e.g. a marketing agency, etc.
If you have any queries about our Privacy Policy and Practices, please e-mail them to admin@hkwebsym.org.hk.
