As the Data Controller, we are committed to the protection of your personal information. Despite our primary operations being located in China, we adhere to European data protection standards to ensure a secure and transparent experience for our international clients and partners.

2. Data Residency & Security

Strategic Server Location in Hong Kong

To ensure a high level of data sovereignty and security, our digital infrastructure and servers are exclusively located in Hong Kong.

One Country, Two Systems

Under the "One Country, Two Systems" principle, Hong Kong maintains a distinct administrative and judicial system from mainland China. Consequently, data stored on our servers is governed by the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) and is not subject to the direct jurisdiction or broad data access powers of the authorities of the People’s Republic of China applicable in the mainland.

Commitment to Data Privacy

By hosting our operations in Hong Kong, we provide our international clients with a more transparent and legally protected environment for their information, aligning with our core values of compliance and transparency.

3. Website Analytics & IP Anonymisation

We utilise Google Analytics and Matomo to monitor aggregated user interactions (geographic origin, session duration, and navigation paths).

IP Anonymisation

In strict adherence to EU standards, we have enabled IP Anonymisation. This ensures your full IP address is truncated at the earliest possible stage, rendering your online activities non-identifiable.

Legal Basis

We process this data based on our legitimate interest [Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR] to refine our consultancy services and website performance.
