Fubon Financial Holdings Customer Information Confidentiality Measures

Fubon Financial Holdings and its subsidiaries (the “Fubon Group”) are dedicated to delivering a comprehensive range of financial products and services based on four core values – integrity, sincerity, professionalism, and innovation – in a secure transaction environment. Committed to customer privacy, the Fubon Group complies with the “Financial Holding Company Act,” the “Personal Information Protection Act,” “Rules Concerning Cross-Selling by Financial Holding Company Subsidiaries,” and other relevant regulations in collecting, processing and using customer information. Control mechanisms have also been put into place to ensure the confidentiality of customer information. The following are confidentiality measures adopted by the Fubon Group:

1. Collection of Information

   The Fubon Group collects customer information for marketing activities and transactions. It does so with the customer’s consent or based on provisions in contractual agreements signed by the customer, according to existing laws. Public information and data disclosed by regulatory authorities or by authorized third parties is also collected.

2. Storage and Management of data

   Customer information is securely stored in Fubon Group’s databases and managerial procedures are in place to prevent unauthorized access and maintain data security. Strict internal management guidelines have been established that prohibit people who have not received the proper authorization from accessing or amending customer information.

3. Security and Protection Measures

   The Fubon Group uses information security technology to transmit and encrypt information, and firewalls are installed to prevent illegal intrusions, preventing customer information from being accessed illegally. Encryption technology is used to store and safeguard passwords and keep them from being stolen.
