  1. From time to time we may collect personal information from individuals dealing with Lam Soon in the People’s Republic of China (“Relevant Person” or “Relevant Persons”, or “you” or “your”, as the case may be) in connection with existing and/or proposed contracts, provision of products and/or services, and/or establishment or continuation of business/customer relationship. The types of information that we may collect may include your name, identity card number, mobile phone number, mailing and/or business address, e-mail address, WeChat account and/or Taobao account number.
  2. This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information of Relevant Persons collected by or submitted to Lam Soon. The purposes for which personal information relating to a Relevant Person may be used will vary depending on the nature of the Relevant Person’s relationship with Lam Soon. Such purposes include:-

    2. the Relevant Person’s entry and access to Lam Soon’s office, premises and/or factory plant;
    3. researching, supervising, analyzing, improving, designing and/or promoting Lam Soon’s products and/or services;

    7. enforcing the Relevant Persons’ obligations, including without limitation collection of amounts outstanding from Relevant Persons;
    8. complying with the obligations, requirements or arrangements for disclosing and using personal information that apply to Lam Soon or that it is expected to comply pursuant to:-
      1. the requirements of any law or order issued by any legal, regulatory, governmental, tax, law enforcement or other authorities, or industry bodies or associations existing currently and in future with which Lam Soon are expected to comply; and/or
      2. any law binding and applicable to Lam Soon, whether within or outside the People’s Republic of China existing currently and/or in future;
    9. enabling an actual or proposed assignee of Lam Soon, or enforcer of Lam Soon’s rights in respect of the Relevant Persons, to evaluate the transaction involving the Relevant Persons which is intended to be the subject of an assignment or enforcement; and
    10. for any other incidental and associated purposes relating to the above.
  3. If the Relevant Person does not agree to provide the personal information as requested by Lam Soon, such failure may result in Lam Soon being unable to:-
    1. execute the contract with the counterparty which the Relevant Person represents;
    2. fulfil its obligations under the relevant contract;
    3. present the Relevant Person with the award, gift and/or coupon which he/she is entitled to;
    4. provide its products and/or services; or
    5. otherwise deal with that Relevant Person.

Sharing and Transfer of Personal Information

 

  1. We will take all reasonable and practicable steps to keep personal information of Relevant Persons confidential, as well as to ensure the safety of the personal information that Relevant Persons have provided to us. We will not disclose or share any of the personal information of Relevant Persons to any third party except as necessary for our business needs, as required or permitted by the applicable laws or regulations and/or with your consent. If we entrust any third party service provider to process personal information of Relevant Persons on Lam Soon’s behalf, such personal information will continue to be protected by means of contracts we will have entered into with those service providers.
  2. Despite our general practice of keeping personal information within the territory of the People’s Republic of China, personal information of Relevant Persons may, with the consent of such Relevant Persons, on certain occasions be transferred to a place outside the People’s Republic of China. If we do this personal information of Relevant Persons will continue to be protected by means of contracts (which will be in a form approved by the competent authority) we will have entered into with those overseas recipients. Lam Soon shall seek to ensure any transfer of personal data across jurisdictions will be afforded with such a degree of protection similar to that being afforded in the People’s Republic of China.

Retention and Storage of Personal Information

 

  1. Subject to paragraph 8 above, all personal information collected by Lam Soon will be retained and stored within the territory of the People’s Republic of China, and will be retained and stored only for so long as the personal information is necessary:-
    1. to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected; or
    2. to comply with the relevant laws or regulations or as unless otherwise specified by the relevant laws of the People’s Republic of China.
  2. Personal information of Relevant Persons which:-
    1. is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose of processing; or
    2. is the subject of a request for erasure (or withdrawal of consent) by the Relevant Person,

    will be destroyed as soon as reasonably practicable by Lam Soon.

Your Rights

 

  1. As a provider of your personal information, you have the right:-
    1. to request Lam Soon to explain our rules of processing of personal information;
    2. to access your personal information collected and stored by Lam Soon (“Your Personal Information”) ;

    For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that you withdraw the consent previously given to Lam Soon, such withdrawal shall not affect the lawfulness of any processing of Your Personal Information carried out by Lam Soon prior to your indication for withdrawal of the consent.

  2. To the extent permitted by law, we may charge a reasonable fee for processing any data access request.
  3. You can make a request or exercise any of the above rights by contacting Lam Soon at privacypolicyprc@lamsoon.com.
