Cookies
Our website makes use of so-called cookies in order to recognize repeat use of our website by the same user/internet connection subscriber. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser downloads and stores on your computer. They are used to improve our website and services. In most cases these are so-called "session cookies" that are deleted once you leave our website.
To an extent, however, these cookies also pass along information used to automatically recognize you. Recognition occurs through an IP address saved to the cookies. The information thereby obtained is used to improve our services and to expedite your access to the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest of the data controller in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.

Use of YouTube components with enhanced data protection mode
On our website we use components (videos) of YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company belonging to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To this end, we use the “enhanced data protection mode” option provided by YouTube.
When you display a page that has an embedded video, a connection will be made to the YouTube server and the content will appear on the website via a communication to your browser.
According to the information provided by YouTube, in “enhanced data protection mode”, data is only transferred to the YouTube server, in particular which of our websites you have visited, if you watch the video. If you are logged onto YouTube at the same time, this information will be matched to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this from happening by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.
Further information about data protection by YouTube is provided by Google under the following link:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en
We use embedded YouTube videos to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a legitimate interest in improving user experience and website functionality, in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Use of Google Analytics with anonymization
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". Google Analytics employs so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer in order to facilitate an analysis of your use of the site.
The information generated by these cookies, such as time, place and frequency of your visits to our site, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google's location in the US and stored there.
The use of Google Analytics is based on our legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both our website and our advertising, in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
IP anonymization
In using Google Analytics, our website employs the extension "_gat._anonymizeIp". In doing so, Google abbreviates and thereby anonymizes your IP address before transferring it from member states of the European Union or signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Google uses this information to analyze your use of our site, to compile reports for us on internet activity and to provide other services relating to website and internet use. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process this data on Google's behalf.
Google states that it will never associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.
The use of Google Analytics with IP anonymization is based on our legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our website and advertising, in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Browser add-on
Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation add-on for most current browsers that provides you with more control over what data Google can collect on websites you access. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) used by Google Analytics not to transmit any information about website visits to Google Analytics. However, the browser deactivation add-on offered by Google Analytics does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services we may engage. You can find additional information on how to install the browser add-on at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
By following this link you can set an opt-out cookie to prevent Google Analytics from collecting user data:
[google_analytics_optout]Disable Google Analytics on this site[/google_analytics_optout]
Data Processing Amendment
We accepted a data processing amendment with Google.

Use of Google-AdWords
For purposes of promotion, our website also employs the Google ad tool "Google AdWords". As part of this, our website employs the analysis service "Conversion Tracking" from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google". If you access our site by way of a Google ad, a cookie is placed on your computer. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser downloads and stores on your computer. These so-called "conversion cookies" cease to be active after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages of our website while the cookie is still active, we and Google know that you, as user, have clicked on ads placed on Google and were redirected to our site.
Google uses the information obtained through "conversion cookies" to compile statistics for our website. These statistics tell us the total number of users who have clicked on our ad as well as which pages of our site were then accessed by each user. However, neither we nor other advertisers who use "Google AdWords" receive any kind of information that can be used to personally identify users.
The use of Google AdWords and conversion tracking is based on our legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both our website and our advertising, in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
You can prevent the installation of "conversion cookies" by making the appropriate change to your browser settings, for example by setting your browser so that the automatic placement of cookies is deactivated or by blocking cookies from the domain "googleadservices.com".
You can obtain the relevant data privacy policy from Google at the following link:

Use of Google Maps
We use the "Google Maps" component of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter "Google."
Google sets a cookie in order to process the user configuration and data when the page with the integrated "Google Maps" component is displayed. As a general rule, this cookie is not deleted by closing the browser, but rather expires after a certain time, as long as it is not previously manually deleted by you.
If you do not agree with this processing of your data, you may choose to deactivate the "Google Maps" service and thereby prevent the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use "Google Maps" or at least only to a limited extent.
The use of "Google Maps" and the information obtained through "Google Maps" is according to Google's Terms of Use:
https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en as well as the additional Terms and Conditions for "Google Maps": https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/help/terms_maps.html
The use of Google Maps is based on our legitimate interest in making our website appealing and providing location-based functionality, in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Use of Google Web Fonts
For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address.
The use of Google Web Fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest in improving user experience and website functionality, in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Upon rejection of your application, data you have provided will be automatically deleted two months after notification of rejection. This does not apply in such instances where, due to legal requirements (such as the burden of proof obligation under applicable anti-discrimination laws) a longer storage period is necessitated, or when you have expressly agreed to have your data stored for a longer period in our database of prospective applicants.
The processing of your application data is based on our legitimate interest in carrying out the recruitment process, in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Use of our Facebook fanpages
GETT Asia ltd uses the technical platform and services of Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland for the information service offered here.
Please note that you use these Facebook pages and its functions under your own responsibility.
This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). Alternatively, you can also access the information provided on this fanpage on our website at https://gett-asia.com
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects your IP address and other information available on your device in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook page, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more information on this at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/help/pages/insights
The data collected about you in this context will be processed by Facebook Ireland Ltd. and, if necessary, transferred to countries outside of Hong Kong (including the United States). Facebook describes in general terms what information it receives and how it is used in its Data Policy. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and how to manage advertisements. The Data Policy is available at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
Limitations of Our Control
The manner in which Facebook uses the data from visiting Facebook pages for its own purposes, the extent to which activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data, and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties is not conclusively and clearly named by Facebook and is not known to us.
IP Address Handling
When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about its users' devices (e.g., as part of the "Login Notification" function); Facebook may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users.
If You Are Logged Into Facebook
If you are currently logged into Facebook as a user, there is a cookie with your Facebook ID on your device. This enables Facebook to understand that you visited this page and how you used it. This also applies to all other Facebook pages. Facebook buttons integrated into websites allow Facebook to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Facebook profile. On the basis of this data, content or advertising can be offered tailored to you.
How to Avoid Identification
To avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or disable the "Stay signed in" feature, delete the cookies present on your device, and exit and restart your browser. This will delete Facebook information that can immediately identify you. This allows you to use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook account. When you access interactive features of the page (like, comment, share, news, etc.), a Facebook login screen appears. Once you have logged in, Facebook will recognize you as a specific user again.
For information about how to manage or delete existing information about you, visit the following Facebook support page: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
