This register is established and maintained in accordance with section 64O of the Insurance Ordinance (Cap. 41) to provide information about all insurance intermediaries who are licensed in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on or after 23 September 2019 (i.e. the commencement of the new regulatory regime for insurance intermediaries).

Pursuant to the Insurance Ordinance (Cap.41), this register is maintained by the Insurance Authority (\"IA\") to enable a person to ascertain whether the person is dealing with a licensed insurance intermediary or a responsible officer in matters of or connected with any regulated activity; or to ascertain the particulars of the licensing of a person as a licensed insurance intermediary or the particulars of the approval of an individual as a responsible officer.

Any person making use of this register is prohibited from using the information contained therein for any purpose other than the purposes mentioned above. Any use of the personal data on this register for purposes other than the above-mentioned purposes requires the prior consent given voluntarily by the individuals who are the subjects of the data pursuant to the provisions of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap.486).

Although the register is updated every working day, it may not contain the most up-to-date information of all licensed insurance intermediaries as there is a time lag in processing and updating the information of the insurance intermediaries on the register. In certain circumstances, such as system failure or other unexpected situations which are beyond the control of the IA, the time lag may be longer.

By publishing the register, the IA does not guarantee the performance or creditworthiness of any registered insurance intermediaries. If there is any question regarding the information shown in this register, please contact the IA at telephone number 3899 9983 or by email at licensing@ia.org.hk.

We respect personal data privacy and are committed to complying with the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (“PDPO”) (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong). In doing so, we strive to ensure compliance by our staff with the strictest standards of security and confidentiality.

Statement of practice on personal data held by us
We may collect and hold personal data as an insurance regulator, an employer and in performing our statutory functions under the relevant laws and regulations. When we collect personal data from individuals, we will provide them with a Personal Information Collection Statement (“PICS”) on or before the collection in an appropriate format and manner. The PICS will state (among other matters) the purpose of the collection.

The broad categories of personal data held by us, and the main purposes of use are:

(a) authorisation, licensing and registration application records and related returns and notifications, and submissions in response to public consultation papers, used for the purposes of processing the relevant applications, carrying out the consultation, displaying at the public registers (e.g. Register of Insurance Intermediaries) and performing our statutory and administrative functions and activities;

(b) enquiry, complaint, inspection, supervisory, investigation and enforcement records, used for responding to and handling enquiries, comments or complaints, including conciliation between the parties concerned, investigation, if appropriate, and any enforcement or prosecution, and performing our statutory and administrative functions and activities;

(c) personnel records, which include job applications and IA staff personal details, job particulars, details of salary, payments, benefits, leave and training records, group medical and dental insurance records, mandatory provident fund schemes participation, performance appraisals and disciplinary matters, etc., used for recruitment and human resources management purposes;

(d) other administration and operational records, used for various purposes depending on the nature of the records (e.g. for administration of functions and activities, organizing and delivering promotional, educational and training activities, subscription of publications etc.).

Such personal data may include sensitive personal data (e.g. health information). The provision of personal data is generally voluntary unless otherwise specified. A failure to provide the requested personal data, or the provision of inaccurate or incomplete information may result in us not being able to process your request, application, submission, enquiry, complaint or matter (as the case may be), or for us to perform our statutory and administrative functions under the relevant laws and regulations.

In performing our statutory and administrative functions under the relevant laws and regulations, personal data held by us may be disclosed to relevant courts, tribunals and committees, and/or other local and/or overseas regulatory / government / judicial bodies as permitted or required under the law, pursuant to any regulatory / supervisory / investigatory assistance arrangements between us and other regulators (local / overseas), or persons engaged by us to assist us in the performance of our statutory functions (see Note below). Information collected in response to public consultation papers may be disclosed to members of the public in Hong Kong or elsewhere.

Where personal data is transferred to place(s) outside of Hong Kong in connection with such purposes, such place(s) may or may not offer the same or a similar level of personal data protection as in Hong Kong.
