Techture Event Limited (the “Company”) - Privacy Policy Statement of Hong Kong Virtual Tour (the “app”) (the “Statement”)
- This Statement is made in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “Ordinance”) and serves to notify the data subjects (amongst others) why personal data is collected, how it will be used and whom the Company shares it with.
- For the avoidance of doubt, this Statement applies to personal data collected or generated through the app only.
- In case of discrepancies between the English and Chinese versions, the English version shall apply and prevail.
- Nothing in this Statement shall limit the rights of data subjects under the Ordinance.
COLLECTION AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA
- From time to time, it is necessary for users of the app (collectively “data subjects”), to supply the Company with personal data in connection with matters and purposes set out in this Statement. The Company may also collect personal data, directly or indirectly:
- in the ordinary course of providing services made available through the app (“Services”) (for example, when a data subject registers a user account on the app);
- from a person acting on behalf of the data subjects whose data is provided;
- from the data subjects’ use of the app (including through behavioural tracking tools); and

- We retain the data subjects’ personal data for as long as required to satisfy the purpose for which they were collected and used (for example, for the time necessary for us to resolve technical problems) unless a longer period is necessary for our legal obligations or to defend a legal claim.
