YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS TO US



This section outlines our policy relating to any personal information you might
wish to provide us when you visit our site. Your use of our website indicates
your acceptance of our website Terms of UAE and this privacy and security
statement.

Our business has been built on trust between our customers and ourselves. Unless
legally compelled to disclose, we have a commitment to safeguard and keep
confidential any information relating to our customers or their financial
affairs. Whether it is provided to us in person at one of our branches, over the
phone, or while visiting this site, we will strive at all times to ensure that
the information is kept confidential and secure.


We may pass information about you and your dealings with us to other HSBC Group
Companies or our agents to the extent allowed by law.


All HSBC Group Companies, all our staff and all third parties with permitted
access to your information are specifically required to observe our
confidentiality obligations.


We will not collect any personal information that identifies a visitor to this
site individually unless specified otherwise. Your visit to this site will
record only the Domain Name Server part of your email address and of the pages
visited. Such information will be used to prepare aggregate information about
the number of visitors to the site and general statistics on usage patterns.


Some of this information will be gathered through the use of 'cookies'. Cookies
are small pieces of information that are automatically stored on a person's web
browser in their computer that can be retrieved by this site.


You can set your browser to disable persistent cookies and/or session cookies
but if you disable session cookies, although you will be able to view our public
unsecured website, you will not be able to log onto online banking.



COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARKS



We and other parties own the trade marks, logos and service marks displayed on
this site and users are prohibited from using the same without our written
permission or of such other parties.

The materials on this site are protected by copyright and no part of such
materials may be modified, reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, transmitted
(in any form or by any means), copied, distributed, used for creating derivative
works or used in any other way for commercial or public purposes without our
prior written consent.





NO WARRANTIES



While every care has been taken in preparing the information and materials
contained in this site, such information and materials are provided to you 'as
is' without warranty of any kind either express or implied. In particular, no
warranty regarding non-infringement, security, accuracy, fitness for a
particular purpose or freedom from computer virus is given in conjunction with
such information and materials.



EMAIL



Email messages sent to us over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be
completely secure. We will not be responsible for any damages incurred by users
if they send a message to us, or if we send a message to them at their request,
over the internet. We are not responsible in any manner for direct, indirect,
special or consequential damages arising out of the use of this website.



TRANSMISSION OVER THE INTERNET



Due to the nature of the internet, transactions may be subject to interruption,
transmission blackout, delayed transmission and incorrect data transmission.
HSBC will not be liable for malfunctions in communications facilities not under
our control that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of messages and
transactions you send.



SECURITY



We maintain strict security standards and procedures with a view to preventing
unauthorised access to your data. We use leading technologies such as (but not
limited to) 256 bit DigiCert secure socket layer data encryption, fire walls and
server authentication to protect the security of your data. Access to your
account and account information is protected by a password which you set.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as
totally secure. If your browser is appropriately configured it should tell you
whether the information you are sending will be secure (generally by displaying
an icon such as a padlock). The combination of a secure browser at your end and
our security measures provide you with the best security currently available.


Once we receive your information, we will take all reasonable steps to protect
the information If we no longer need your information, we will destroy or
de-identify it.



COOKIES



Our public website and online banking services, along with most other major
websites, use cookies.

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to the cookie file on
your computer’s hard disk. Cookies enable users to navigate around the website
and (where appropriate) enable us to tailor the content to fit the needs of
visitors who have accessed the site.

We use two types of cookie on our website.

Session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of
your computer until you close your browser at which point they are deleted.

Persistent or stored cookies that remain permanently on the cookie file of your
computer.

Cookies cannot look into your computer and obtain information about you or your
family or read any material kept on your hard drive and, unless you have logged
onto online banking, cookies cannot be used to identify who you are.

Cookies cannot be used by anyone else who has access to the computer to find out
anything about you, other than the fact that someone using the computer has
visited a certain website.

If you have logged in to our mobile banking or personal online banking, then we
may, using the data gathered through cookies, contact you via post, email or
phone in accordance with our personal online banking Agreement. We may use
cookies to show you subtly tailored content on our website or other websites of
things we think you might be interested in, but only in relation to HSBC
products and services. You will never see advertising on our website from anyone
other than HSBC group companies and our agents. The cookies we use are
completely safe. In fact, many of them are used purely to provide important
security features such as protecting your data and your accounts.

We use email analytics and reporting tools to see how many of our emails are
opened and which links receive the most clicks. Knowing which articles and
topics our customers like and which they don't like helps us improve our content
and make our emails more relevant.

We maintain strict security standards and procedures to prevent unauthorised
access to information about you. HSBC will never contact you by email or
otherwise to ask you to validate personal information such as your user ID,
password, or account numbers. If you receive such a request, please call us
on +9714 2274310 (within UAE & outside UAE).

We work with service providers and third parties who also set these cookies on
this website.

TEALIUM



In order to develop our website in line with customer needs, HSBC uses Tealium
to track usage of our website. Tealium provide HSBC with statistics that allow
us to understand things like which pages on our website are visited most
frequently and how long visitors spend on our website. We use this information
to help us plan how we should improve the website.

Tealium use a cookie to track the number of unique users of the site. It
basically tells us whether we have a small number of regular visitors to the
website or a large number of infrequent visitors. None of the information can be
traced to an individual - we do not know who you are as a unique user, merely
that there are a certain number of people using the website. The cookie only
relates to what goes on in the HSBC website and the information cannot be used
for marketing on an individual basis.

 

IMPORTANT: By accessing this website and any of its pages you are agreeing to
the terms set out above.





APP PRIVACY NOTICE

third parties who carry out any work on our behalf to comply with appropriate
compliance standards including obligations to protect any information and
applying appropriate measures for the use and transfer of information.

We’ll keep your information in line with our data retention policy. For example,
we’ll normally keep your main banking information for a period of seven years
from when our relationship with you ends. This allows us to comply with legal

purposes such as managing your account and dealing with any disputes or concerns
that may arise. We may need to keep your information for longer where we need
the information to comply with regulatory or legal requirements, help detect or
prevent fraud and financial crime, answer requests from regulators etc.  If we
don’t need to keep information for this length of time, we may destroy, delete
or anonymise it sooner.
