Introduction
Shafin International Co ("Shafin International," "we," "us," or "our") operates this website (theshafin.com). This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit or use this website, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
When you fill out our contact form or otherwise get in touch with us, we may collect:
- Your name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Any details you include in your message, including the service you are enquiring about
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information about your visit through cookies and similar tracking technologies, including:
- Your IP address and approximate location
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages viewed, time spent on the site, and referring website
- General usage patterns, collected via Google Analytics
Cookies and Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to help us understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to collect anonymized and aggregated usage data. This information helps us improve our website's content and user experience.
Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by adjusting your browser settings to block cookies.
This site also loads fonts from Google Fonts and a scroll-animation library from a third-party content delivery network (cdnjs). These services may receive your IP address as a technical part of delivering that content to your browser.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your enquiries and provide the consultancy services you request
- Operate, maintain, and improve our website
- Understand how visitors find and use our website, so we can improve it
- Comply with our legal obligations
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for unrelated marketing purposes without your consent.
Sharing of Information
We do not share your personal data with third parties except:
- With service providers who help us operate this website (e.g., our web hosting provider, Google Analytics), solely for that purpose
- Where required by law, regulation, or legal process
- With your consent
Data Retention
We retain contact form enquiries for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you and for our business records, and analytics data for the retention period set within our Google Analytics account settings. We will delete or anonymize personal data when it is no longer needed for these purposes, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Your Rights
As a Hong Kong-based business, we handle personal data in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of Hong Kong. You have the right to:
- Ask whether we hold personal data about you, and request access to it
- Request that we correct any inaccurate personal data
- Ask us to stop using your personal data for a particular purpose
If you are located outside Hong Kong, you may have additional rights under the data protection laws of your own jurisdiction (for example, the GDPR if you are in the European Economic Area). To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data we hold from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
