The Asian Banker's Customer Privacy Policy has been developed to demonstrate our commitment to the privacy of the information that you provide us. The policy aims to outline what personal information we collect, what we do or do not do with this information, and why these are necessary.

The Business We Are In
The Asian Banker is in the business of disseminating information on news, analysis and trends in the financial services industry. We are also in the business of creating strong and lasting working relationships with high level and influential decision makers for the advancement of best practices and business standards in the industry.

Information Collection and Use
Because of the nature of the business we are in, we do maintain a repository of private contact information of many key executives in the financial services industry in Asia and from around the world. We are committed to ensure the highest standards of security and confidentiality in maintaining their names and the nature of their relationship with us.

Information is gathered when you sign up in our mailing list or subscribe to our products or services. Information is also collected when we contact you or through third party sources. We usually require your contact information (such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address) to enable us to contact you through a variety of media to provide you with news, analysis, as well as information on our products and services which may be of interest to you.

If you complete a subscription form for any of our specific products or services, you will be asked for more sensitive information (like credit card numbers and expiration date). Such information is used for billing purposes to fulfill specific orders only and are not maintained only in our billing records but not in any database that we own. If we have trouble processing an order, we use your contact information to get in touch with you.

Sharing of information
Under no circumstances do we sell, lend or give away the actual data in our possession. We do not allow third parties to touch, edit or copy our database.

We do however, from time to time and at our absolute discretion, disseminate information from third parties that have a bona fide contractual arrangement and have a product of service that would be of interest to our subscribers, to the names in our list. But this is done by us, and using only our own established distribution channels.

At no time do any third parties come in contact with our lists or are in a position to copy or use the list directly. Neither are they permitted to contact you on our behalf. We commit them to the same privacy standards that we adhere to in order to prevent privacy abuses.

Directories and Lists
If we publish directories or lists that contain particulars of people in the profession, we undertake not to use information that is intended to be private in nature (these include your e-mail addresses and the direct telephone/fax numbers). Such directories or lists are intended only as an indication of the people in the specific positions at the institutions that we cover, and will contain only your organisation's general contact address or information in the public domain, in a manner that is appropriate for a directory that is intended for the benefit of the industry as a whole.

Updating Personal Information
We want to make sure the information that we have about you is complete, up-to-date and accurate. We will contact you from time to time to obtain updated information from you. You may also notify us of any changes or errors in your personal information via e-mail (adm@theasianbanker.com), write-in (our address below), update through our website (http://www.theasianbanker.com) or by telephone (65-62366500).

Our employees
The directors, employees and agents of The Asian Banker are committed to this privacy policy and risk dismissal if they trade in or provide our database information to any third parties. This includes our sales staff in their dealings with clients and other third parties.

Links
We may have links either through our website, or through activities that we carry out, to third party organisations. This privacy policy does not cover third party organisations that we associate with. We suggest that you read their privacy policy before providing any information that they may ask from you. Our dealings with them may or may not include adherence to our standards, as the technology may or may not allow.

Choice/Opt-Out
You may, at any time, choose to remove all information about you from our database, through e-mail, write-in or telephone.

We reserve the right, at our own discretion, to vary, modify, add, or remove to this privacy policy at any time, based on the constraints of technology or business processes. You should check periodically for changes to our privacy policy in this regard.

By providing us with information on yourself, you agree to our privacy policy and are comfortable with the fact that we will adhere to the highest standards of privacy to the best of our ability and that we value our relationship with you.
