Privacy and Information
Security
In FY2016, The Data Security
Governance Board was established
with defined terms of reference
reporting to the Risk Management and
Sustainability Committee. The Data
Security Governance Board is chaired
by Group Chief Executive Officer and
comprises the Group President, CMS
Chief Executive Officer, TEL President,
Group Chief Financial Officer, Company
Secretary and Group Chief Compliance
Officer, and Group Chief Information
Officer. It is responsible for decision-
making, implementation, enforcement,
oversight, compliance and periodic
review of the Data Security Policy.
In order to gain trust from our
stakeholder, the security of their
personal information is important to us.
VTech acknowledges the importance
in handling the personal information
carefully. We have policies in place to
monitor how the personal information of
our stakeholders is collected, used and
managed. The personal information is
usually collected from our online shop,
authorised dealer or agents and media
channels for enquiries and complaints
whenever necessary to provide services
to the stakeholders.
VTech understands stakeholders
use their personal information for
different purpose while surfing the
internet. Therefore, it is important
for us to handle this information with
care. To protect this information from
any unauthorised access, accidental
loss and destruction, VTech adopts
appropriate security measures in the
transfer and storage of the personal
data and only processes corresponding
information when necessary.
