We will take all reasonable and feasible measures to protect your personal data. We take physical, technical and administrative security measures to mitigate the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure and alteration, including, but not limited to, transport-level data encryption, firewall and encrypted storage, physical access controls, and information access authorisation We have set up a security program to protect your information from unauthorised access.

For example, we have established data classification systems, data security management rules and security development rules to regulate the storage and use of personal data. We require all employees to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require reasonable time for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities in relation to us. In general, we respond to your request within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving it.

 

Please note that depending on the nature and scope of your request, we may not be able to continue providing our products or services to you and we shall, in such circumstances, notify you before completing the processing of your request. Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please inform us in writing in the manner described above.

 

6.            Can you access, update or correct your personal data which we hold about you?

 

Yes. If you wish to make (a) an access request for access to a copy of the personal data which we hold about you or information about the ways in which we use or disclose your personal data, or (b) a correction request to correct or update any of your personal data which we hold about you, you may submit your request via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided below.

7.            How do we protect your personal data?

 

As we outlined in the Policy, to safeguard your personal data, we have introduced appropriate administrative, physical and technical measures to secure all storage and transmission of personal data by us, and disclose personal data both internally and to our authorised third party service providers and agents only on a need-to-know basis. You should be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While security cannot be guaranteed, we strive to protect the security of your information and are constantly reviewing and enhancing our information security measures.

 

8.            How long do we retain your personal data?

 

We may retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws. We will cease to retain your personal data, or remove the means by which the data can be associated with you, as soon as it is reasonable to assume that such retention no longer serves the purpose for which the personal data was collected, and is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes.

 

9.            What else should you know about data protection?

 

In order to ensure that your personal data is current, complete and accurate, please update us if there are changes to your personal data by informing our Data Protection Officer via email at the contact details provided below.

 

10.         Transfers of personal data outside of Singapore

 

We generally do not transfer your personal data to any other entities in the countries outside of Singapore. However, if we do so, typically in cases where provision of the products and/or services requested by you requires us to do so, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data continues to receive a standard of protection that is at least comparable to that provided under the PDPA.
