PERSONAL DATA (PRIVACY) ORDINANCE

Important Notice to Customers relating to the Sharing of Consumer Credit Data

The Revised Code of Code of Practice on Consumer Credit Data ("Revised Code") takes effect on and from 2 June 2003. Under the Revised Code, CMB Wing Lung Bank Limited is allowed to share a wider scope of credit data. This will include repayment history record, credit limits and outstanding balances of your credit cards and personal loans (excluding residential mortgages loans).

Benefits from Greater Credit Data Sharing
If you are a creditworthy customer, you will be benefited from greater credit data sharing because (a) you will enjoy faster access to credit when you need it; and (b) a good credit report will strengthen your reputation with financial institutions from which you wish to borrow in the future. 

Credit Data Storage
The credit data of customers is stored by a credit reference agency acting as a central database for storing and processing information.

Protection of Personal Data
The Revised Code will continue to protect your privacy and ensure that financial institutions can only access your credit data for credit assessment purposes, but not for any marketing activities. Only financial institutions with which you have a credit relationship or to which you have applied for credit will have access to your data. The identity of other financial institutions with whom you have a credit relationship will remain confidential at all times. The security system at the credit reference agency will protect against unauthorized access to your personal data.

Your Opt-out Choice
Upon the termination of the account by full repayment and on condition that there has been, within 5 years immediately before account termination, no default in payment for a period in excess of 60 days, then you will have an "opt-out" choice to decide whether you allow your terminated account data to be disclosed to other financial institutions for future credit reference purpose. If you choose not to "opt-out" the closed account data will remain available to other financial institutions with whom you have a credit relationship. If you choose to "opt-out" the credit reference agency will delete from its database any account data relating to the terminated account.

In the event of any default in repayment, unless the amount in default is fully repaid before the expiry of 60 days from the date such default occurred, otherwise you shall be liable to have your account data retained by the credit reference agency until 5 years from the date of final settlement of the amount in default.
