1. Scope of Application
This Policy applies to the personal data we may collect from you (including website visitors, potential investors, business partners and other individuals) when you use our corporate website. This website may contain links to third-party websites, which have their own privacy policies that differ from ours. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such third-party sites.

 

​

2. Personal Data We Collect
We may collect your personal data through the following means:

 

2.1 Data You Provide Voluntarily
When you use certain features of this website, you may voluntarily provide us with personal data, for example:
•    When completing "Contact Us", business cooperation enquiry, new energy project enquiry or investor relations forms, you may provide your name, company name, job title, telephone number, email address, correspondence address and enquiry details;
•    When subscribing to our corporate newsletters, market analyses or investment updates, you may provide your name and email address (such communications are informational only and do not constitute direct marketing);
•    Information provided when registering for our online seminars or events.

 

2.2 Data Collected Automatically
When you browse this website, we may automatically collect certain technical data through cookies and similar technologies, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, browsing history, clickstream data, and date and time of visit. Such data may not, on its own, personally identify you, but where it is combined with other data and can be used to identify you, we will treat it as personal data. 

 

3. Purposes for Which Personal Data is Used
We will use the personal data we collect for one or more of the following purposes:
•    To process, follow up on and respond to your enquiries, feedback or requests;
•    To provide you with information about new energy investments, project financing, market trends and our services (such as industry newsletters);
•    To conduct internal statistical, data analytics and market research to improve our website content and user experience;
•    To comply with applicable legal, regulatory and compliance obligations (including but not limited to anti-money laundering, due diligence and tax reporting requirements);
•    To pursue our legitimate interests, including establishing, exercising or defending legal claims, and preventing fraud or illegal activities.
We hereby confirm that we do not currently use personal data for direct marketing purposes. If in the future we intend to carry out any direct marketing activities, we will, in advance, obtain your consent in a distinct and explicit manner, and provide an opt-out mechanism, in accordance with the PDPO.

​

4. Transfer and Disclosure of Personal Data
We will not transfer or disclose your personal data to third parties except in the following circumstances:
•    To our group companies (including those outside Hong Kong) for the purposes described in Section 3 above;
•    In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or asset sale involving our company, personal data may be transferred to the relevant entity as a business asset;
•    Where disclosure is required to comply with any Hong Kong or overseas law, regulation, court order, or mandatory request from a regulatory or governmental authority;
•    Where necessary to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights, or to protect the property and safety of us and others.
Some recipients may be located outside Hong Kong (e.g., Mainland China or Europe) where data protection laws may not be identical to those in Hong Kong. In such cases, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transferred personal data receives a level of protection comparable to that afforded under the PDPO.

5. Data Security
We have implemented reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, processing, deletion, loss or use. However, absolute security of data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed, and you provide personal data to us at your own risk.

6. Data Retention
We will retain your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Specifically:
•    Enquiry and contact data: generally retained for no longer than 2 years after the conclusion of the relevant enquiry;
•    Newsletter subscription data: retained until you unsubscribe;
•    Unless a longer retention period is required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
When personal data is no longer required, we will securely destroy or anonymise it.

7. Rights to Access and Correct Data
Under the PDPO, you have the right to request access to and correction of your personal data held by us. To exercise these rights, you must make a written request to us(see Section 9 for contact details). We will endeavour to respond within the statutory timeframe.
