iCar Corporate Privacy Statement

Last Updated: June 30, 2026

 

Welcome to the official global parent website of iCar (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Headquartered in Hong Kong and operating a cross-border business footprint spanning 28 countries, iCar is deeply committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our investors, business partners, job applicants, and website visitors.

 

This Privacy Statement explains how we handle your personal data in compliance with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) (“PDPO”) and applicable international data protection standards.

 

  1. Scope of This Statement

This policy applies exclusively to personal data collected directly through our global corporate parent website (www.icarauto.com). It does not apply to the independent websites, mobile applications, or digital platforms operated by our local market subsidiaries across our 28 countries of business, which maintain their own region-specific privacy policies tailored to local regulations.

 

  1. Personal Information Collection Statement (PICS)

As a corporate parent platform, we collect limited personal data, primarily centered around corporate communications, investor relations, and global talent acquisition.

  1. Cross-Border Data Transfers & Global Processing

Because iCar acts as a global corporate hub across 28 countries, the personal data we collect through this website may be transferred to, stored in, or processed by our regional subsidiaries or third-party cloud infrastructure vendors located outside of Hong Kong.

 

Our Data Transfer Safe Guards: We take all practicable steps to protect your data. When transferring personal data outside of Hong Kong, iCar implements intra-group data transfer agreements and robust contractual protections—modeled on the Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner's recommended clauses—to ensure the recipient jurisdiction provides an equivalent standard of protection to the PDPO.

 

  1. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data collected on this website. We only disclose your information to the following categories of recipients to fulfill our corporate obligations:

  • iCar Group Subsidiaries: We share relevant inquiry or career application data with our local operations within our 28 target countries to better address your local market needs.
  • Authorized Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors who provide essential infrastructure, website hosting, email distribution systems, and IT security auditing.
  • Legal & Regulatory Authorities: When compelled by a valid court order, subpoena, or law enforcement request in Hong Kong or any other jurisdiction where we operate, or where necessary to defend our legal rights.

 

  1. Data Security & Retention

We employ strict administrative, physical, and technical security measures designed to prevent unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss, or misuse of your personal data.

 

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the original purpose of collection, or to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, or corporate governance record-keeping requirements.

 

  1. Your Rights & Choices

No matter where you reside globally, iCar honors your fundamental right to control your personal data. In alignment with the Hong Kong PDPO and international privacy baselines, you have the right to:

  • Request Access: Verify whether we hold personal data about you and request a copy of that data.
  • Request Correction: Ask us to update or rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we maintain.
  • Opt-Out: Withdraw your consent to receive investor alerts or corporate communications at any time via the provided unsubscribe links.
