Europe-Asia Investment Bank Limited (“EAIBank”, “the Bank” or “We”) values the confidentiality and security of personal information and is committed to protecting the personal information and privacy of clients and other relevant information agents (collectively referred to as “Information Agent” or “You”) as per laws. Hence we have prepared this Personal Information and Privacy Policy (“the Policy”) to help you understand the purpose, method and scope of our collection and utilization of personal information, our practices on personal information and privacy protection, your rights and interests in personal information and privacy, and your ways of rights and interests protection.
The Policy applies to the personal information about you and relevant parties involved in accessing, browsing, using our website, applying for or using our products or services, conducting business in the Bank or transactions with us, participating in our marketing activities, questionnaire surveys, and communicating with us in any way, either provided by you or relevant parties, or collected or obtained from other sources by us in accordance with laws, regulations, stipulations, or authorizations/consents by either you or relevant parties.
We will collect, use, store, disclose, and protect the personal information of you and relevant parties in accordance with the Policy. If the terms and conditions of a separate agreement or protocol between you, or the relevant parties you represent or are relevant to, and us are inconsistent with the Policy, such special agreement or protocol shall prevail.
I.The way we protect your personal information
1. Information security is our primary concern. Therefore, we will endeavor to ensure that your personal information shall not be obtained, processed or damaged by unauthorized or accidental access to it at any time. We shall take appropriate physical, electronic and administrative measures to protect your personal information so as to fulfill our commitment toward information security. If your information should be subject to unauthorized access, public disclosure, alteration or destroy due to our reasons, resulting in damage to your legitimate rights and interests, we shall bear the corresponding legal responsibility and liability according to law.
2. Our website security area supports the secure sockets layer protocol and the 128-bit encryption technology which is the current industry standard for data security protection on the Internet. When you provide sensitive personal information via our website, the information will be automatically encrypted for subsequent secure transmission. Our website servers are protected by firewalls and our systems are under surveillance in case of any unauthorized access.
3. We have strict security systems to prevent any unauthorized person from accessing your information. We execute strict control over employees who may have access to your information, including but not limited to different authority controls for different positions, agreements on confidentiality obligations with relevant employees, development and implementation of rules and regulations on information confidentiality and security, and provision of relevant training.
4. We shall never disclose your personal information to any third party unless in compliance with laws, regulations or regulatory provisions or unless it is stipulated by the Policy, other corresponding separate agreements (if any), or on the basis of other explicit consents or authorizations from you or relevant parties. When services by external facilitating agencies/persons should be needed, we also agree with them upon strict confidentiality obligations to process personal information in close compliance with our privacy policy and security standard.
5. You share the equally important responsibility as we do for your information security. You should appropriately keep your personal information, including your bank account information, authentication information (such as user name, password and verification code), and the files, devices or other media that may relate to or record such information, and should use such information and relevant documents only in a safe and secure environment. At no time, you shall disclose such information or relevant documents to any one or authorize any one to use them. If you believe that your personal information and/or relevant documents have been disclosed, lost or stolen, or under other conditions that may affect your safe utilization of our products or services, you shall immediately notify us so as to take appropriate measures and to prevent the further losses.
6. If there should be an unfortunate personal information security incident, we will launch an emergency scheme and take corresponding handling and remedial measures to prevent the incident from escalation and prevent the loss from expansion. Meanwhile, we will notify you, as per laws and regulations, the basic circumstances and possible impact of the security incident, the measures we have been taking or about to take, the recommendations that you can take to mitigate those risks by yourself, and the applicable remedial measures. We will keep you informed of the incident via email, letter, phone, text message, notification or other appropriate ways. If it is difficult to inform the subject of personal information one by one, we will make an announcement via a reasonable and effective channel. Simultaneously, we will report the personal information security incident and its countermeasures to the regulatory authorities as per laws, regulations and regulatory requirements.
