Privacy policy

A plain-language summary of what happens with your data when you use this site.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand which pages are read and how the site is generally used — this involves a standard set of analytics cookies and similar technology. We don't use this data to identify individual visitors personally.

Affiliate and referral links

As explained on our advertising & disclosure page, this site includes affiliate links to Wise and Amazon. When you click one of these links:

  • The destination site (Wise or Amazon) may set its own cookies or tracking to attribute a signup or purchase back to this site, under its own privacy policy — not ours.
  • We don't receive your personal purchase details, payment information, or account details from either programme — only that a referral occurred.
  • As an Amazon Associate, Totally Hong Kong earns from qualifying purchases, per Amazon's standard Associates Program terms.

What we don't do

We don't sell personal data, run third-party ad-retargeting networks, or track you across other websites beyond the standard analytics and affiliate-attribution described above.

Contact form and email

If you contact us via our contact page, we use your email only to respond to you — not for marketing unless you separately opt in.

Your choices

Most browsers let you block or clear cookies at any time; doing so may affect analytics and affiliate attribution but won't stop the site from working normally.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes meaningfully, we'll update this page and note the change in our news section, consistent with how we handle other site updates.
