This is the Competition Academic Limited website Cookie policy. Please read it carefully as you should only submit information to us through this site if you agree we may use it in accordance with this policy.
We collect certain basic information about you when you visit our website. We recognise the importance both of keeping that information secure and of letting you know what we intend to do with it.
We may amend our policy to reflect changes to our business, website or to data protection law or legislation. We therefore ask you revisit this policy on a regular basis to ensure you are familiar with its terms.
This policy only applies to our website; if you follow a link out of our website or leave our website in some other way, this policy will no longer apply.
The policy sets out (1) who we are and describes (2) the information we collect, (3) what we do with it and (4) how you can find out more.
(1) Who we are
This website is provided by Competition Academic Limited. More information about us may be found by emailing us at support@competition.ac. Our office is located at Unit 905, 9/F Kowloon Centre, 33 Ashley Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
(2) The information we collect
We collect information from you when you complete online forms, by means of 'cookies' when you use our site and in the form of 'traffic data'. In general, we will collect the information we need to provide you with the service to which the form relates. For example, if you use our enquiry form we will collect your names, email address and the message you write. We use this information to process your enquiry more effectively. Where we ask for more information to help us improve our services, over and above the basic required information, your response is voluntary, and you are free not to provide us with more information if you would prefer not to do so.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer's hard drive by websites you visit yo enable the site to 'remember' who you are. In general, cookies are only visible to the website that serves them, not to other websites; 'serves' means places on your computer's hard drive.
We use the cookies on this website to help you navigate our website efficiently, perform certain functions and to collect site statistics. These cookies do not store any personal information that would, on its own, allow us to identify individual users of this service without your permission.
We use a number of suppliers (third party) who also set cookies on this website on our behalf in order to deliver the services that they are providing. If you would like more information about the cookies used by these suppliers, as well as information on how to opt-out, please see the information in the tables provided below.

We keep a record of traffic data which is logged automatically by the server. This includes your IP address, the website address you visited before ours, the website address you visit after leaving our website and which pages you visit on our website. We do not store or analyse this traffic data in a way that identifies any individual. We also use Google Analytics for site statistics - see above for how this works.
(3) What we do with your information
We use your information to provide you with relevant support, information or other content and services that you request. If any of our communications constitute direct marketing we will separately seek your consent where required by law. We will keep you on our mailing lists until you ask us not to contact you further. See section (4) to find out how to opt-out of mailings from us.
We may disclose your information to third parties in certain circumstances. Suppliers who process information on our behalf, such as our IT service providers, will have incidental access to your information but will be obliged to act only on our instructions and to keep your information secure. We may disclose your information to law enforcement or regulatory bodies if required to do so by them. We may also disclose your information to a third party in the context of actual or threatened legal proceedings or if otherwise required to do so by law. Your information will not be disclosed to or shared with any third party except as specified above.
Only authorised personnel and contractors have access to your information. We will keep your information secure by taking appropriate technical and organisational measures against its unauthorised or unlawful processing and against its accidental loss, destruction or damage.
Data protection legislation is harmonised throughout the European Economic Area (EEA), which comprises the EU member states, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Countries outside the EEA do not generally have the same level of protection for personal information as those within the EEA. Because of the way the internet works, it is possible that the information the provide us could be routed via countries outside the EEA. However, this is not considered a 'transfer' under data protection legislation, and unless you are from outside the EEA, we will not transfer any information we collect from you outside the EEA without your permission or as permitted by law.
(4) Finding out more
You can ask us to stop sending you material at any time by writing to support@competition.ac. Please specify what you wish us to do clearly.
