LEGAL INFORMATION

Important legal information

Please read these terms and conditions carefully. By accessing this website, sub-sites and linked websites within the China Finance (Worldwide) Limited you declare that you have understood and recognise the following application conditions and legal information related to this website (and the elements contained therein). If you do not agree to the following conditions, please refrain from accessing this site and the pages contained therein.

Data protection and the Internet

According to Art. 13 of the Swiss constitution and data protection legislation, every individual has a right to protection of their private sphere as well as protection against the misuse of their personal data. China Finance (Worldwide) Limited (hereinafter referred to as “China Finance (Worldwide) Limited”) complies with these regulations.

The Internet is an open network, accessible to everyone. China Finance (Worldwide) Limited will do everything in its power to protect my data and my privacy. All confidential data transferred between my browser and the China Finance (Worldwide) Limited web server are therefore encrypted (SSL, currently with 128-bit encryption, the WWW standard for browsers worldwide). It can happen that data are sent unencrypted by e-mail to the advisers for further personal processing. Please take note that in the case of transmitting unencrypted or insufficiently encrypted e-mails, confidentiality can not be completely guaranteed.

I have also noted and agree to the occasional use of cookies to help ensure that I receive information tailored to my needs. A cookie is a piece of information stored in my browser that enables the China Finance (Worldwide) Limited web server to recognise my computer on subsequent visits to the company’s website. I have noted that my browser can be set to inform me when it receives cookies.

I have no objection to China Finance (Worldwide) Limited occasionally sending me information about the company, its products and services to my postal and e-mail addresses. I also consent to my personal details being forwarded to other partners in the China Finance (Worldwide) Limited, also abroad, for processing but that they will not be made available to other third parties (except authorised agents in the sense of Art. 47 of Swiss Banking Law).

Banking secrecy

I hereby acknowledge that my e-mail and/or application for financing will be sent via the Internet. By the very nature of the Internet, it is possible that these data will cross borders and be forwarded via servers abroad even if both sender and recipient are in Hong Kong. I therefore waive my right to Swiss banking secrecy during data transmission until it reaches China Finance (Worldwide) Limited and accept the possibility of transfer via servers abroad.
