Statement of Policy
M Plus Museum Limited (“M+” or “We”), a subsidiary of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (“WKCDA”), respects personal data privacy. We, together with WKCDA’s other group companies including Hong Kong Palace Museum Limited and West Kowloon Cultural District Foundation Limited, are collectively referred to as the “Group”. We will comply with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the laws of Hong Kong SAR) (the “Ordinance”) and are committed to fully implementing the data protection principles promulgated under the Ordinance.
Statement of Practices
Information We Collect
From time to time, we may collect various types of personal information (“personal information” or “personal data”) (such as email address, name, and contact number) from you in connection with our provision of services, activities, and facilities, including but not limited to account registration, ticketing transaction, e-newsletter subscription, event registration, membership, Wi-Fi usage, payment, following up on enquiries, conducting customer surveys, advertising, venue booking, fundraising campaigns, job application and/or employment-related issues, and contractor management, etc.
We do not actively collect personal data of minors under the age of 18 but we may collect their personal data while they use our services or register for our activities and events. Minors must have obtained consent from their parents or guardians before providing personal data to us.
Main Purpose of Collecting Personal Data
The main purposes of collecting your personal data are as follows:
We may collect and combine/process information from you (except for Purposes 14 and 15) through various channels, such as online channels (e.g. websites, mobile applications, social media platforms), offline channels (e.g. physical application forms), or publicly available information about you. We use this information to help improve your experience and communicate with you about events or offerings that may be of interest.
Implementation of Practices
M+ will implement the practices at (a) to (f) below in accordance with the data protection principles in the Ordinance.
(a) Collection of personal data
When collecting personal data, M+ will satisfy itself that:
When M+ collects personal data from you, you will be provided with a Personal Information Collection Statement (“PICS”) on or before the collection in an appropriate format and manner. Practicable steps will be taken to ensure that:
If M+ intends to use the personal data collected for a new purpose, other than the purpose of first collection as stated in the PICS, M+ will obtain prior consent from the data subject before the usage. If the data subject is under the age of 18, we will only use the personal data for a new purpose after we obtained prior consent from the parent or guardian of the data subject.
(b) Accuracy and retention of personal data
Personal data collected and maintained by M+ will be as accurate, complete, and up-to-date as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it is to be used.
M+ maintains a personal data inventory, which contains the kinds of personal data that M+ holds, the purposes for which the personal data is collected, used and disclosed, and how the personal data is stored. The personal data inventory will be reviewed periodically to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date.
M+ will only retain your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Should there be a need to retain personal data for statistical purposes, such personal data will be anonymised so that the individuals concerned can no longer be identified.
(c) Use of personal data
All personal data collected will be used by and shared among the Group for purposes which are directly related to the discharge of M+’s or the Group’s activities or functions. We will never sell or rent your information with any other organisation outside the Group. We may transfer your personal information to our service providers such as IT contractors, cloud service providers, event agents and confidential documents disposal service agents, etc., in order for them to perform services on our behalf. We may also share your personal data with partners or service providers that are involved in co-organising events with us or providing goods and services to you or fulfilling your requests. We will ask for your consent before sharing personal information with any third party partners for direct marketing purposes such as external online platforms and social media platforms, etc. Personal data may also be disclosed to other entities which are authorised to receive such information for law enforcement, prosecution or review of decisions purposes, or otherwise as required or permitted by law. We may also need to transfer your personal data outside of Hong Kong for necessary handling, processing or storage.
You will be informed of the transferees of personal data when your personal data is collected. We require all transferees to respect the security of your personal data and comply with the Ordinance and other applicable personal data laws. We do not allow our transferees to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
If personal data is to be used for a purpose other than the purposes for which the data is collected, prior consent will be sought from you where practicable. In seeking the consent, all practicable steps will be taken to ensure that:
M+ will not use personal data or provide personal data for use in direct marketing without your explicit consent. Such direct marketing communications may take the form of mails, emails, SMSs, targeted online advertisements, notifications via our mobile applications, push notifications, instant messaging, etc. Such direct marketing communications may relate to products, activities, events and services of M+ and/or the Group, including those sponsored by or jointly organised by M+ and/or the Group with third parties, and those on offer or taking place at the West Kowloon Cultural District (“Marketing Communications”). Examples of these Marketing Communications include newsletters, membership benefits, shop/merchandise promotions, event invitations, invitations to donations, etc. If M+ intends to use your personal data for direct marketing, M+ will obtain explicit consent from you before using your personal data and will notify you when using personal data for direct marketing for the first time that you have a right to request M+ to cease using the data for direct marketing if you so require. These Marketing Communications may be sent by M+, the Group and/or an external party on our behalf (e.g. external online platforms and social media platforms). If M+ intends to provide your personal data to an external party (e.g. our service providers or third party partners) for use by that other person for their direct marketing purposes, M+ will inform you in writing in advance that M+ intends to provide the personal data and will not provide the personal data unless it has received your explicit consent. You may, at any time, require M+ to cease using your personal data in direct marketing by informing M+ through the channels as stated in practice (f) below.
(d) Security of personal data
M+ observes strictly the relevant security standards and regulations. Security arrangements will be reviewed regularly to ensure that personal data is protected against loss and unauthorised or accidental access, use, disclosure, modification and erasure. The security arrangements include, without limitation, the following:
