BOC's Promise

1. We do not disclose your personal information on this site.

This site will not disclose your personal contact information unless required to do so by law. The data we collect is intended to provide you with the most personalized experience. Getting to know you better allows us to send more relevant information and thereby improve our financial services. Under no circumstances can advertisers access your personal account information without your clear authorization.

2. We do not use or share with third parties any private or browsing information on this website. 

Our system will automatically collect information regarding access to certain areas or pages while in use. We do not share this data with other companies. We collect such information to understand how our users, as a whole, enjoy our services in order to improve them. We also share user browsing information with partners bound by confidentiality, but do not disclose it or track users' browsing activities. Once users click on a link to another site, this privacy policy no longer applies.

3. We do not sell your information for registration (name, phone number, mail or home address, etc.), unless you authorize us to do so. 

We do not sell or exchange your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any other registration information unless specifically authorized by you in advance. There are two exceptions to this rule: We may disclose clients' personal information if required by law and we may share aggregated registration data with partners bound by confidentiality obligations.

4. We use secure technologies, privacy-protection management policies and restrict access by our staff to private information to protect your privacy. 

Only a small number of authorized employees can access your personal data. We encourage our partners to clearly publish their own privacy policies. Be sure to review these policies and contact them if you have any questions.
