Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025 | Last Updated: July 7, 2026

1. Introduction

Hong Kong Guokang Future Publishing House Co., Limited ("GF Publishing," "we," "us," or "our") operates this website as an informational platform for our publishing activities. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices in plain language — what we collect, why, and what we do not collect.

2. Information We Collect

This is a static website. We do not have user registration, login systems, comment sections, or web forms that store data on our servers. The only information involved in visiting this website is:

  • Server access logs: Like all websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record standard technical information — IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. These logs are standard server diagnostics and are not used to identify individual visitors.
  • Language preference: When you switch between English and Chinese, your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage (localStorage). This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server.
  • We do NOT collect: personal identity information, email addresses, account credentials, payment data, or any form of user-submitted content through this website.

3. How We Use Information

  • Server logs: Exclusively for website performance monitoring, security protection, and aggregated traffic analytics. We do not cross-reference log data with any other data sources to build visitor profiles.
  • Language preference: Solely to display the website in your chosen language on subsequent visits.
  • No advertising, no tracking, no profiling. We do not use any data collected through this website for advertising, behavioral tracking, or user profiling of any kind.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

This website does not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party cookies. The only client-side storage used is your browser’s localStorage to remember your language preference (English or Chinese). This can be cleared at any time through your browser settings without affecting website functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

This website is hosted on a third-party cloud infrastructure platform. The hosting provider may maintain its own server-level access logs for operational and security purposes, governed by its own privacy practices. Aside from the hosting infrastructure, we do not currently integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services on this website. If this changes in the future — for example, if we add an analytics tool to understand how visitors use our site — we will update this policy accordingly.

6. Your Rights

Under the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486), you have the right to request access to and correction of your personal data. However, since this website does not collect or store personal identity information, there is generally no personal data for us to provide or correct. If you have any questions or concerns about privacy, please contact us using the information below.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our website or data practices. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
