1. Scope
This policy applies to the public website at gyinstitute.org. The Future Talent Platform, research projects, event registration, assessments or services involving participant data may provide a supplementary notice and any required consent mechanism before personal data is collected.
2. Information we may collect
- Your name, organisation, role, contact details and message when you contact us voluntarily.
- Basic technical data needed for website operation and security, such as device, browser, IP address, access time, error and security logs.
- Research-team, expert, event or media information published with confirmation and authorisation from the individual or appropriate rights holder.
We collect only information that is directly related to a clear and lawful purpose and is not excessive for that purpose.
3. How we use information
Information may be used to respond to enquiries, support research or partnership communication, manage website content and security, improve performance, retain necessary operational or compliance records, and send information you have chosen to receive with appropriate consent. We do not use personal data for an unrelated new purpose or direct marketing without the consent required by applicable law.
4. Service providers and cross-border processing
We may use website-hosting, email, storage, security and other technology providers. They may process information only as needed to provide their services and should apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Some services may process information outside Hong Kong; we take reasonable steps to provide protection appropriate to applicable requirements. We do not sell personal data, except that information may be disclosed when required by law, necessary to protect legitimate rights, or expressly authorised by you.
5. Retention and security
We retain personal data only for as long as needed to fulfil the purpose of collection, meet legal requirements or resolve disputes. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to guard against unauthorised or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use, although no internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
6. Cookies and analytics
The website and its hosting services may use technologies necessary for operation, security or preferences. If non-essential analytics or promotional tools are introduced, we will update this policy and provide an appropriate choice or consent mechanism where required.
7. Children and young people
This public website is not designed to actively collect children’s personal data. Research, events, assessments or educational projects involving minors will use a separate collection notice and obtain appropriate consent from the participant, parent or guardian as required for the project and by applicable rules.
8. Access, correction and contact
To ask about this policy or request access to or correction of personal data relating to you, contact institute@globalyuanyao.com. We may need to verify your identity and will handle requests in accordance with applicable law.
