At Summit Corporation Overseas Limited, we are committed to protecting your privacy and making it easier and more efficient for individuals and businesses to interact with us. We recognize that it is critical for individuals and businesses to be confident that their privacy is protected when they visit this Web site and web sites of our affiliated companies. You can travel through most of this Web site without giving us any information about yourself or your company.

Sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this commitment of privacy explains our online information practices.

We do not collect any personal information about you unless you provide that information voluntarily by sending an e-mail or other communication or completing an Information Request Form in the “Contact Us” (or similarly designated) sections of our websites.
