AsiaSea Finance News Privacy Policy

Effective date of update: June 24, 2026

AsiaSea Finance News ("we"; official website: https://www.seaequity.asia) complies with the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, fully protecting the privacy rights of all users accessing our website from Mainland China, Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong. By browsing the site, consulting via WhatsApp, leaving messages, or subscribing to updates, you indicate that you have fully read and agreed to all terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Scope of Information We Collect

(1) Personal information you voluntarily submit

• Information you actively provide via WhatsApp, the website message board, or inquiry emails: email address, communication account, message content;
• Information voluntarily submitted for contributions, business cooperation, and rights protection: nickname, contact details, company documents, screenshot evidence;
• Additional information for Southeast Asian news subscriptions (optional; not providing it will not restrict your free access to market data and research reports).

(2) Non-identifiable technical data automatically collected by the website

When you visit seaequity.asia, the system automatically collects the following data, which cannot by itself identify any natural person:

• Device information: device model, operating system, browser, device ID;
• Access logs: IP address, access time, page path, click behavior, time on page, external source;
• Local cookie cache: stores browsing preferences and subscription status. You may manually disable cookies in your browser, which will turn off personalized market push notifications.

(3) Sensitive information is not collected compulsorily

We will not actively request sensitive materials such as ID cards, passports, bank cards, or home addresses. Such data is only retained voluntarily by users for cross-border business communication or rights protection and is not collected compulsorily.

2. Lawful Scope of Information Use

Without your separate written authorization, we will not expand the scope of use. Data is used only in the following necessary lawful scenarios:

• Basic website services: record reading preferences and push information related to Southeast Asian stock markets, FX rates, IPOs, and macro industry analysis;
• Customer service: respond to inquiries via WhatsApp, email, and the message board, and handle market data corrections and infringement complaints;
• Platform operation optimization: statistics on site traffic and popular sections, and adjustment of content update frequency;
• Security and risk control: identify crawlers, spam, and accounts used for illegal traffic diversion;
• Legal compliance: provide information to regulators in Mainland China, Singapore, and Hong Kong in accordance with the law;
• Authorized push notifications: send daily Southeast Asian market briefing emails. You may unsubscribe and withdraw consent at any time.

3. Data Storage and Security Protection

Data storage rules

Data from Mainland China users will be stored on compliant servers within Mainland China; visitor data from Singapore and Southeast Asia will be stored separately under the PDPA. No cross-border data transfer will take place without written consent from both parties. If cross-border storage is required, we will announce it in advance and obtain your separate authorization.

Retention period

• Cookies and browsing logs: automatically cleared after 180 days;
• Messages, submissions, business, and subscription records: retained for 3 years after service completion, then anonymized and deleted;
• User-initiated data deletion requests: all related records will be completely deleted within 15 business days.

Security measures

SSL-encrypted transmission across the entire site, tiered employee access permissions; regular vulnerability checks and data breach response plans. The internet carries inherent risks, so please safeguard your personal communication account.

4. Rules for Information Sharing and Disclosure

Selling or renting any user's personal information is strictly prohibited.

Information may only be shared in the following three compliant situations:

1. Submitted to a partner financial media platform after obtaining your written authorization;
2. Disclosed in accordance with the laws, regulations, and judicial documents of the three jurisdictions;
3. Data transfer in the event of a merger or asset sale. The successor entity must comply with this policy; if the purpose of data use changes, your consent must be obtained again.

Only de-identified anonymous traffic statistics are published externally, and they cannot be traced to any individual user.

5. Users' Statutory Rights

• Right of access: email privacy@seaequity.asia to request a full copy of the information we store about you;
• Right of correction: if contact details or messages are incorrect, you may submit supporting materials for correction;
• Right of deletion: you may request deletion of all personal data at any time, completed within 15 business days;
• Right to withdraw consent: you may disable cookies or unsubscribe from emails;
• Right to complain: a response will be provided within 7 business days. Mainland China users may file complaints with the cyberspace authority; Singapore users may seek redress through the PDPC.

6. Minor Privacy Protection

This website is intended for adult cross-border investors and does not provide Southeast Asian stock, FX, or equity investment news to users under 18. Minors may not submit personal information. If a guardian finds that the platform retains a minor's record, contact us and we will delete it immediately.

7. Policy Update Notice

We may revise this Privacy Policy in accordance with the laws of Mainland China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The effective date after updates will be prominently displayed on the homepage.
