Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 September 2026

HKmodeler respects personal data privacy and aims to follow the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong (PDPO). This policy explains what information may be collected, why it is used, how long it is kept, and how a visitor may request access or correction.

1. Personal Data Principles

The PDPO is built around six Data Protection Principles. In practical terms, personal data should be collected for a lawful and fair purpose, kept accurate and no longer than necessary, used only for the stated or directly related purpose, protected with reasonable security, handled transparently, and made available for access or correction where the law gives that right.

2. Information We May Collect

When you browse the site, the server may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, language, page URL, referring page, timestamps, cookies, session identifiers, UTM parameters and anti-abuse logs. If you contact us through Telegram, WhatsApp, Line, phone or email, you may voluntarily provide contact details and message content.

We do not require visitors to create an account on this website. The saved listings feature is stored locally in your own browser and is not intended to be sent to our server.

3. Purposes Of Use

Information may be used to operate the website, show requested pages, keep contact links working, remember local interface choices, measure traffic, prevent fraud or abuse, protect the service, respond to messages, and maintain records needed for legal or operational reasons.

4. Cookies And Local Storage

The site may use cookies or similar technologies for sessions, traffic attribution, analytics, security checks and basic site functions. Your browser may let you delete or block cookies. Blocking cookies may affect some features. Saved listings are stored in localStorage on your device, so clearing browser data will remove them.

5. External Services

Contact buttons may open Telegram, WhatsApp, Line or other third-party services. Those services process data under their own terms and privacy policies. Once you leave this website or send a message through an external service, that service may receive account details, device data, message metadata and message content according to its own rules.

6. Direct Marketing

We do not sell visitor personal data. If direct marketing is ever carried out using personal data covered by Hong Kong law, it should be done only where the required notice and consent conditions are met. You may ask us to stop using your contact details for promotional messages.

7. Disclosure And Transfers

Personal data may be disclosed to hosting providers, technical service providers, analytics/security providers, communication platforms, professional advisers, or authorities where required or permitted by law. We aim to disclose only what is reasonably necessary for the stated purpose.

8. Retention

We aim to keep personal data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it is used. Server logs, contact records and operational records may be retained for security, dispute handling, abuse prevention or legal compliance, then deleted or anonymised when no longer needed.

9. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal data against unauthorised or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use. No website or messaging service can guarantee absolute security, so visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.

10. Access, Correction And Removal Requests

Under the PDPO, data subjects may have rights to request access to and correction of their personal data. To request access, correction, removal, or to ask a privacy question, contact us at [email protected]. We may need enough information to verify the request and locate the relevant data.

11. Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy when site features, contact channels, legal requirements or operational practices change. The latest version will be posted on this page.

12. Legal Note

This page is a practical privacy notice for visitors. It is not legal advice and does not limit rights or obligations under applicable Hong Kong law.
