Privacy policy

Data controller

Appinfraconnect is the data controller for personal data collected through this website and in the course of professional enquiries. Office: Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Email: info@appinfraconnect.digital. Phone: +852 2859 0888.

Data we collect

• Enquiry forms: name, email, optional engagement interest, entity count, and message content
• Correspondence: emails and call notes related to scoping and engagements
• Engagement files: information necessary to perform consolidation audits, including contact details of client staff and, where relevant, component auditor contacts
• Technical data: limited server logs and cookies as described in our Cookies policy

We do not ask for identity card numbers, bank passwords, or other sensitive data through the public website form.

Purposes

We use personal data to respond to enquiries, prepare engagement letters, deliver audit and assurance services, meet professional and legal record-keeping duties, and improve site reliability.

Legal basis and professional duty

Processing is based on steps prior to entering a contract, performance of engagements, compliance with legal and professional obligations applicable in Hong Kong, and legitimate interests in operating a professional practice — balanced against your rights.

Retention

• Unsuccessful enquiries: typically up to 24 months
• Engagement working papers and correspondence: retained for periods required by professional standards and applicable law (often at least seven years for audit files)
• Cookie consent preference: stored in your browser until cleared

Sharing

We share data with staff and contractors under confidentiality, with component auditors when required for group audits, with professional advisers, and with authorities when legally required. We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Group audits may require sharing contact details and working-paper extracts with component auditors or clients outside Hong Kong (for example in Mainland China or ASEAN). We take contractual and practical steps appropriate to the transfer and the professional context.

Your rights

Subject to Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and other applicable law, you may request access to and correction of your personal data, and raise concerns about our handling. Contact info@appinfraconnect.digital. You may also complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong.

Security

We apply access controls and professional confidentiality to engagement data. No method of transmission is perfectly secure; please use agreed channels for sensitive audit evidence.

Updates

We may revise this policy periodically. The posted version is effective from its publication date.
