Privacy Notice

As you are a HSBC private banking client, we will naturally collect personal information about you.

This notice explains how we will use that information, who we might share it with, and what steps we will take to make sure it stays private and secure. This notice continues to apply even if your agreement for banking or other products and services with us ends.
