BOOM's Personal Data Collection Policy

Last Update : Apr 2024

This Statement is made by Boom Securities (H.K.) Limited ("BOOM") in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("the Ordinance"). The Statement is intended to notify you why personal data is collected, how it will be used and to whom data access requests are to be addressed.

The purpose for which your personal data and other information may be used include:

the provision and daily operation (including without limitation, maintenance and administration) of the accounts and services and/or other financial services provided to you;
conducting credit checks, matching procedures, data verification, due diligence and risk management;
designing financial services or related products for your use;
direct marketing of financial services or related products which may or may not directly related to your accounts and may be conducted by us, any BOOM group of companies and its affiliates or other selected financial service providers;
meeting the requirement to make disclosure under the requirement of any law binding on BOOM or under and for the purpose of any guidelines issued by regulatory or other authorities which BOOM is required to comply;
enabling an actual or proposed assignee of BOOM in connection with merger, amalgamation, reconstruction or otherwise to evaluate the transaction intended to be the subject of the assignment;
commencing, defending or otherwise participating in any legal or administrative proceedings or inquiry before any court or competent authority;
internal data processing, preparation of internal statistical reports and any other reports; and
any other purpose relating to any of the above.

Your personal data and other information shall be kept confidential. While BOOM may transfer your personal data and other information interchangeably among any BOOM group of companies and its affiliates (whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), BOOM may, at its sole discretion and for the purpose(s) mentioned above, provide your personal data and other information to:

any agent, contractor or third party service provider (whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere) who provides services to BOOM in connection with the operation of its business;
any financial institution with which you have or propose to have dealings;
any person under a duty of confidentiality to BOOM or who has given to BOOM an undertaking of confidentiality;
any actual or proposed assignee or transferee of BOOM; and
any person or regulatory or other authority to whom we are under an obligation or duty to make disclosure pursuant to any relevant laws, rules, regulations, codes or guidelines binding on BOOM or any BOOM group of companies and its affiliates.

You agree that your personal data and other information may be transferred overseas under this policy.
You acknowledge and agree to accept the risks that data and information disclosed under this policy may be subject to further disclosure by the recipient to other parties in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the recipient is located. Such laws may be wider in scope and implemented under less restrictive terms than in Hong Kong due to difference in applicable laws and regulations.
You agree to allow BOOM to disclose your personal data and other information for the purposes and to those persons set out in this policy and to use such data and information under this policy.
Under and in accordance with the terms of the Ordinance, you have the right to:

check whether BOOM holds your personal data and right of access to such data;
require BOOM to correct any data relating to you which is inaccurate; and
ascertain BOOM's policies and procedures in relation to data and to be informed of the kind of personal data held by BOOM.

You may request access to and correction of your personal data. Any such request can be made in writing to the Privacy Data Officer of BOOM, at Room 2801, Level 28, Tower 1, The Millennity, 98 How Ming Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, or such other address as BOOM may subsequently notify from time to time. BOOM may charge a reasonable fee for processing any data access request.
You consent that BOOM may, from time to time, send to you by e-mail, telephone call, physical mail or other means of communication any messages relating to products or services which, in the opinion of BOOM, may be of interest to you.

If subsequent to giving consent, you wish to withdraw your consent, you may notify BOOM in the following manner:
By post to BOOM's mailing address in Clause 7;
