Legal information
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Houge ApS handles personal data collected through this website, including information submitted through the contact or lead form. It is intended to provide transparent information under laws that may apply to the campaign, including Hong Kong’s Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable. The exact role of Houge ApS may depend on the campaign setup. Where a separate service provider determines how it uses lead information, that provider may act as an independent data user or controller and should provide its own privacy notice.

1. Personal data we may collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect:
- Identity and contact data, such as first name, last name, email address and telephone number.
- Form and consent data, including the time of submission, country, language, selected preferences and records showing what you agreed to.
- Technical data, such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, approximate location derived from IP, referring page, timestamps and security logs.
- Usage data, such as pages viewed, links selected, form interactions and cookie preferences, where permitted.
- Communication data, including messages, call notes or complaint information when you contact us or a relevant service provider.
2. How data is collected
We collect information directly from you when you complete a form, contact us or change cookie choices. Technical information may be generated automatically by the hosting environment, security tools or consented analytics services. A marketing partner may also provide campaign parameters needed to attribute a request, such as a campaign, source or landing-page identifier.
3. Purposes and legal bases
| Purpose | Typical legal basis | Data used |
|---|---|---|
| Responding to an information request | Steps requested before entering a contract and/or legitimate interests | Identity, contact and form data |
| Sharing a request with the relevant provider or marketing partner | Consent, where required, and/or legitimate interests subject to local law | Identity, contact, campaign and consent data |
| Sending marketing communications | Consent where required by law | Contact details and marketing preferences |
| Operating, securing and troubleshooting the site | Legitimate interests and legal obligations | Technical, security and usage data |
| Maintaining records and handling complaints | Legal obligations and legitimate interests | Submission, communication and consent records |
| Analytics and campaign measurement | Consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies | Usage and campaign data |
4. Recipients of personal data
Personal data may be disclosed only where reasonably necessary to:
- hosting, security, communications, customer-support and technical service providers;
- the product or service provider relevant to your request;
- authorised marketing or lead-management partners identified in the applicable campaign flow;
- professional advisers, auditors, insurers or authorities where required by law or necessary to protect legal rights;
- a purchaser or successor in connection with a legitimate business reorganisation, subject to appropriate safeguards.
Submitting the form does not itself create an investment account. A recipient that decides independently how to use your data should provide separate information about its processing.
5. International transfers
Some service providers or recipients may process data in Hong Kong, Denmark, elsewhere in the European Economic Area or in other jurisdictions. Different privacy rules may apply in those locations. Where GDPR applies, international transfers should rely on an adequacy decision, approved standard contractual clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism. Where Hong Kong law applies, personal data should be transferred and used consistently with the stated collection purpose and applicable data-protection principles.
6. Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, legal obligations, consent records, security and dispute handling. Lead and communication records are normally reviewed periodically and deleted or anonymised when no longer required. Technical logs may be retained for shorter periods unless they are needed to investigate misuse or security incidents.
7. Your rights
Subject to applicable conditions, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing. You may also object to direct marketing at any time.
Send privacy requests to info@hougeaps.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
8. Complaints
You may complain directly to us and may also contact the relevant privacy authority. In Hong Kong, privacy matters are overseen by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data. In Denmark, the supervisory authority is Datatilsynet. The authority able to consider a complaint may depend on where you are located and which entity controls the processing.
9. Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect data from unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. No internet service is completely secure, and users should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through an ordinary web form.
10. Children
This website and its form are intended for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly seek personal data from children for the promoted services.
11. Automated decisions
The website form itself does not make a legally significant automated decision about you. A separate provider may use automated checks for eligibility, fraud prevention or compliance and should explain those processes in its own notice.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when legal, technical or operational arrangements change. The effective date at the top indicates the latest version.
