3. Global Data Transfers and Storage
As a boutique firm serving an international clientele from Kowloon, Hong Kong, Grand Pine Investment Limited recognizes that personal and financial information may, where necessary, be processed or transferred across jurisdictions in connection with our business operations, service providers, financial institutions, professional advisers, and regulatory obligations.
- Hong Kong Data Protection: Grand Pine Investment Limited handles personal data in accordance with applicable requirements of Hong Kong’s Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) (“PDPO”) and its Data Protection Principles. We take appropriate and practicable measures to protect personal data against unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss, or use.
- International & Cross-Border Transfers: Where personal data is processed, stored, or accessed outside Hong Kong, we apply appropriate contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards consistent with applicable data-protection requirements. Depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances, these safeguards may include contractual data-protection provisions, confidentiality obligations, access controls, encryption, and other measures designed to maintain an appropriate level of protection. Hong Kong’s privacy framework recognizes that personal data may be stored or processed outside Hong Kong, including through cloud systems, subject to applicable PDPO obligations.
- Purpose Limitation & Data Minimization: Personal information is collected and used only for lawful purposes directly related to our business functions and is not retained for longer than necessary for the purpose for which it is used, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, compliance, and record-retention obligations.
- Direct Custody Information Security: Where Grand Pine Investment Limited provides services involving direct custody or the administration of client assets, relevant client account information, transaction records, trade histories, asset positions, and related documentation are subject to appropriate access restrictions and security controls. Access is limited to authorized personnel and service providers with a legitimate business, operational, legal, regulatory, or compliance requirement.
- Security Controls: We use appropriate technical and organizational safeguards, which may include encryption, authentication controls, access management, secure infrastructure, monitoring, backup procedures, and confidentiality controls, to protect client information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
- Third-Party Service Providers: Where external technology providers, professional advisers, financial institutions, or other service providers process personal data on our behalf, we take appropriate contractual or other measures designed to ensure that such information is handled securely and in accordance with applicable privacy requirements. Hong Kong’s PCPD specifically recommends contractual or other safeguards where a data processor handles personal data on behalf of a data user.
