Privacy Policy

Effective: October 18, 2026

ASIA Members Club (“AMC”) is operated by QICE Capital Partners Limited, trading as ASIA Members Club, Hong Kong.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information AMC collects, how it is used and shared, and the choices and rights users have. Curators should also read the Curator Privacy Notice.

1. Information AMC collects

Depending on how you use AMC, we may collect:

• identity and contact information — such as name, email, phone, WhatsApp or WeChat, city, company, role, public professional profile and preferred communication channel;
• Request information — what you tell AMC about your Request, such as what you hope to achieve, the kind of person you hope to meet, timing, location, preferences and exclusions, and any follow-up information you provide;
• service records — records AMC keeps to deliver a Request, such as the Request Brief, scheduling, communications, feedback, and records of concerns or events relevant to trust and safety;
• payment and billing information — such as payer name and email, company, billing address, tax ID, amounts, payment status, receipts, refunds and disputes;
• technical information — such as browser, device, IP address, access logs, security events and cookies where applicable; and
• information from public sources — publicly available professional information about people who may be relevant to a Request (section 5).

AMC does not store full payment-card details.

AMC does not ordinarily need passport or government identity numbers, full card numbers, bank login details, passwords, precise residential addresses or other sensitive personal information. Please do not provide information that is not reasonably needed for your Request.

2. How AMC uses information

AMC uses information to:

• review Requests and prepare Request Briefs and fees;
• find and confirm a suitable person for a Request;
• arrange, coordinate and support introductions and meetings;
• process payments, refunds, receipts and invoices;
• communicate with you and provide support;
• maintain trust and safety, and prevent fraud or misuse;
• comply with legal obligations and handle disputes; and
• improve the Service, using de-identified or aggregated information where possible.

AMC does not sell personal information.

3. Automated processing and AI

AMC uses software, including AI tools from third-party service providers, to help with its work. AMC shares only the minimum information necessary with these providers, removes direct identifiers where they are not necessary, and never sends payment information to them.

AMC assesses each Request automatically where it qualifies under AMC's rules, and by a person where further review is required. For a Request that qualifies, AMC may prepare and send the Request Brief and its fee without prior individual human review. AMC does not automatically decline Requests; a decision to decline a Request is made by a person at AMC, as are other material decisions such as which person to confirm for an introduction, refunds and safety matters.

If your Request Brief and fee were issued automatically, you may request human review of the Brief, its tier or its fee before paying the AMC Deposit, by replying to the Request Brief email or writing to hello@asiamembers.club. A request for review does not guarantee a change to the Brief, tier or fee.

4. When AMC shares information

AMC shares information only as far as each stage needs:

• people AMC considers for an introduction — limited information about a Request, normally without the Applicant’s name, so they can decide whether they are interested;
• the person AMC confirms for an introduction — the Applicant’s name and relevant background, so that person can make an informed decision;
• the Applicant — information about that person that does not identify them until the AMC Balance is paid, and their identity afterwards;
• introduction participants — the context needed to begin and coordinate the conversation, including in a private messaging group;
• service providers — providers of hosting, databases, payments, email and messaging, video meetings, security, analytics, research and verification, and AI-assisted processing, acting for AMC; and
• legal, safety and protection — where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights or safety, investigate fraud or abuse, respond to a payment dispute or enforce AMC’s agreements.

AMC will not publicly identify an Applicant or Curator through a story, testimonial, quotation, image, profession, or Request description without appropriate permission. AMC does not operate a public directory.

5. People AMC may contact

To find people who may be relevant to a Request, AMC may use publicly available professional information and third-party research providers. Publicly available information is still personal data, and AMC records only what is relevant to the Request.

Anyone AMC contacts this way is told how AMC found them and may ask AMC not to contact them again, or to delete what AMC holds, at hello@asiamembers.club.

6. Communications

AMC communicates by email and messaging services, and meetings may take place on a video-meeting service. AMC does not record, transcribe or summarise meetings between participants.

Service communications

Messages reasonably required to deliver an active Request — confirmations, scheduling, payment, security and support — are part of fulfilment and are sent for as long as the Request is active.

Direct marketing

AMC will not use your personal data in direct marketing without first telling you what data would be used, for what classes of goods and services, and obtaining your consent.

You may withdraw that consent, and opt out of direct marketing, at any time and at no charge, by replying to any marketing message or writing to hello@asiamembers.club.

AMC will act on an opt-out without further use of your data in direct marketing.

Opting out of direct marketing does not stop the service communications described above while a Request is active.

7. Security

AMC takes reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information, including access controls and data minimisation.

No internet or information system is completely secure. Users are also responsible for protecting their own devices and accounts.

8. Retention

AMC keeps personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, accounting, dispute, fraud-prevention, safety and record-keeping purposes.

If AMC declines a Request, or a Request does not proceed, AMC aims to delete or de-identify the Request information within about 90 days. This is a target, not a fixed deletion date: AMC may keep information for longer where it is needed for the purposes above.

9. International data transfers

AMC and its service providers may process information outside your country, including in Hong Kong and in other jurisdictions in Asia, North America and Europe where those providers operate.

AMC will apply required safeguards where applicable.

10. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent where consent is the applicable basis, and complaint to a relevant authority. To exercise them, contact hello@asiamembers.club.

Data access and correction requests

Under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486), you may ask AMC for a copy of the personal data AMC holds about you, and ask AMC to correct it where it is inaccurate.

AMC will respond to a data access or correction request within 40 days. Where AMC cannot comply within that period, AMC will say so within 40 days and respond as soon as practicable afterwards.

AMC may charge no more than a directly related and reasonable cost of complying with a data access request.

AMC may need to verify your identity before responding, and may withhold information whose release would disclose another person’s personal data — including a Curator’s identity before it has properly been disclosed.

11. Why processing is lawful

Where a legal-basis analysis applies to you, AMC relies on:

• performance of a contract, or steps taken at your request before entering into one — reviewing your Request, preparing a Request Brief, delivering the One Application, taking payment and handling refunds;
• legitimate interests — trust and safety, fraud and abuse prevention, security, service improvement, business records and defending legal claims, balanced against your interests;
• consent — direct marketing, and any optional information you choose to provide; and
• legal obligation — accounting, tax, and responding to lawful requests.

Where AMC relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out.

AMC applies the mandatory privacy and transfer requirements that apply to relevant users, including in Hong Kong, Mainland China, the EEA, the United Kingdom and California.

12. Children

AMC is intended for adults aged 18 or older and does not knowingly provide its services to children.

13. Changes

AMC may update this Privacy Policy prospectively. The updated date will be shown at the top, and material changes will be communicated where required by applicable law. Earlier versions are available on request.

14. Language and governing law

This Privacy Policy is written in English. AMC may provide a translation for convenience. If there is any inconsistency, the English version prevails.

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Hong Kong, subject to any mandatory privacy law that applies to you.
