Privacy statement

What is the purpose and scope of this privacy statement?

We created this privacy statement to explain how and why we collect certain types of personal information from users of this Website, and how we process and use that information. This privacy statement also outlines the appropriate safeguards in place to protect your personal information.

This statement does not apply to websites and services controlled by third parties, which may contain links ("Third-Party Websites") or any ESi website; such websites and services have their own privacy statements.

Because ESi is not responsible for, and cannot control, the content or privacy practices of Third-Party Websites, please review the privacy statements of those Third-Party Websites.

The content of this privacy statement may also be subject to any additional terms, disclaimers or other contractual terms you have entered into with ESi, and to any applicable and binding laws and regulations.

All electronic messages sent to and from ESi are protected by appropriate technical and organizational measures within our systems, and may be accessed by individuals not directly involved in the communication only on a case-by-case basis in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (for example, court rulings, suspected criminal activity or breaches of supervisory obligations), and only by staff in specific departments (for example, legal, compliance and risk control). All such processes and the search criteria used are logged.

What should you be aware of when sending information over the internet?

The internet is generally not considered a secure environment. Information sent over the internet (such as information sent to or from this Website, or email) may be intercepted by unauthorized third parties, which may result in disclosure of information, changes to its content or technical failures. Even when the sender and the recipient are located in the same country, information sent over the internet may be transmitted across borders and forwarded to countries with a lower level of privacy protection than your country of residence.

Please note that we accept no responsibility for the security of your information while it is being transmitted to ESi over the internet. To protect your privacy, we remind you that you may contact ESi by appropriate means.

How can you exercise your rights as a user?

To the extent permitted by law, you have the right to:

request information about your personal information, including the source and categories of the information, the reasons for processing, the recipients (or categories of recipients) of the information and the period for which it is retained;
request that your personal information be updated or corrected if it is inaccurate;
request that your personal information be deleted from our systems once it is no longer needed for the purposes of this statement.

Data use policy

●Data protection measures

To reduce internet users' concerns about online transactions, this Website uses an SSL security mechanism to ensure that data cannot be stolen by malicious parties and that transactions are non-repudiable.

In addition, in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act and related laws and regulations, the Company collects, processes and uses (including through international transfer) the personal data of its principals within the scope of specific purposes and, where it considers necessary or in the interest of the principal, outside the scope of specific purposes. The Group strictly requires its employees to follow confidentiality procedures that safeguard investors' data. In addition to physical and electronic safeguards, it has established strict internal audit and internal control procedures to protect investors' data. We also advise you to keep your personal data, codes and passwords safe, and not to give any personal data, especially passwords, to any person or other organization. If you share a computer with others or use a public computer, be sure to log out and close the browser window after use to prevent others from reading your personal data. If you discover or suspect that your password has been stolen, please change it as soon as possible or notify this Website to stop the use of that function.

●Supplementary notes

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) server certificate services are used for e-commerce transmissions between web browsers and servers. A website with an SSL server digital certificate installed encrypts content transmitted to and from browser users around the world (such as IE or Netscape users), protects message integrity, and verifies the identities of both parties when a session is established. This ensures that messages traveling over the internet are not intercepted and read by hackers in transit (data confidentiality) or altered by hackers without authorization (data integrity), and prevents third parties from seeing any transmitted information over the network. SSL server digital certificates are classified by encryption strength as 128-bit or 40-bit. 128-bit encryption is 288 times stronger than 40-bit, making it the strongest SSL server digital certificate. Most financial websites use 128-bit SSL server digital certificates.
