This notice describes how The Asian Dinker (theasiandinker.co) handles personal data. The site is operated from Hong Kong. The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) applies. This is a working draft for the operator to review with a Hong Kong solicitor before relying on it at scale. It is not legal advice.
