8. Transfer and Global Processing of Your Personal information

We have entrusted a third-party service provider to store the data you provide to us via your use of our Website in Canada. While transferring personal information to private sector organizations in the course of commercial activities, Canada is a country accredited by the EU adequacy decisions, as being able to provide adequate protection of your personal information. Your personal information which you provide to us via your use of our APP is generally stored and kept within the territory of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). However, due to the fact that we are based in Hong Kong and our operating teams are located in Hong Kong and Mainland China, in order to provide our Services to you, your personal information may be transferred to third country outside of the EEA.

We take appropriate measures when we transfer your personal information outside the EEA to ensure your personal information remains protected and to comply with applicable data protection laws.

The bases, mechanisms, and measures we rely on include:

  • Adequacy Decisions. When applicable, we may rely on EU adequacy decisions to transfer your personal information outside the EEA. When the relevant EU authority issues an adequacy decision, that means they found the third country to offer adequate protection for personal information.
  • Derogations. We may transfer your personal information based on a derogation listed in Article 49 of the GDPR. We will only do so if the transfer of personal information meets specific strict conditions according to the GDPR or other applicable laws.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses. We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between us and our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and further details can be provided upon request.
  • Supplementary Measures. When necessary, in addition to the Standard Contractual Clauses, we may adopt technical, contractual, and organizational supplementary measures to better ensure that the level of protection guaranteed by the GDPR is not undermined by the transfer. 

9. Automated Decision-making

We do not envisage that any decisions will be taken about you using automated means.

10. Business Transactions

If SiBio is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

11. Security of Your Personal information

The security of your personal information is important to us, we have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. For example, we and/or our service providers use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and Secure Socket Layer software (SSL) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect personal information. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your personal information, no electronic transmission over the internet or data storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your personal information. In the case of a data breach, we will comply with the requirements of the GDPR and other applicable laws, including taking necessary remedy measures, notify the supervisory authorities and/or you, if required.

Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website and APP is at your own risk.
