Privacy, in plain terms.

This policy covers hkjournal.online and direct communications sent to the published HK Journal email address or telephone number. The website is a static publication without user accounts, comments, checkout or an online enquiry form.

It does not govern websites linked from our pages or the independent privacy practices of your email or telephone provider. Their terms apply when you choose those channels.

We do not ask you to submit personal information through this website. If you contact us, we receive the address or number you use and the information you choose to include in your message.

Our hosting provider may process standard technical request information, such as IP address, requested path, time and browser identifiers, to deliver and protect the site. We do not add third-party analytics, advertising pixels or tracking scripts.

Direct correspondence is used to understand and answer your enquiry, assess whether our work is suitable, keep necessary business records and protect the security of our communications.

Technical server information is used for reliable delivery, fault diagnosis and abuse prevention. We do not use it to build advertising profiles or sell audience data.

Hosting, email and telecommunications providers may process information as needed to operate their services. They act under their own contractual and legal obligations.

We do not disclose contact information for unrelated marketing. Information may be disclosed when required by applicable law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety and system integrity.

Correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the enquiry, agreed work, record-keeping or a legal obligation. Retention may vary with the nature of the communication.

We use proportionate administrative and technical safeguards, but no email, telephone or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Avoid sending passwords, trading credentials or sensitive identity records.

Subject to applicable law, you may ask whether we hold personal information about you and request access, correction or deletion. Some information may need to be retained where a legal exception applies.

Send a clear request to contact@hkjournal.online using an address that lets us verify the relevant correspondence. We may ask for proportionate confirmation before acting.

HK Journal is written for a general audience but is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly request information from minors through the site. A parent or guardian may contact us about a concern.

Visitors and service providers may be located outside Hong Kong, so information sent by email or processed for web delivery may cross borders. Protections can differ between jurisdictions.

We may revise this policy when the website, our communication practices or relevant requirements change. The review date above will be updated, and material changes will be explained on this page.

Questions or privacy requests may be sent to contact@hkjournal.online, or by post to 5號 Kent Rd, Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
