1.1 This Privacy Policy describes how information, including Personal Data, will be collected, used and shared in connection with your use of our Site and/or Services, our legal basis for doing so as well as your rights and choices regarding information provided. This Privacy Policy is intended to meet the requirements of the Personal Data Protection Act of Singapore (“PDPA”).

2. Your Rights

2.1 You have the following rights under this Policy to:

  • Request access to your Personal Data. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request removal of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
  • Withdraw consent. This enables you to withdraw your consent to process your Personal Data. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with access to the certain specific functionalities of our Site and/or Services. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

3. Exercise your rights

3.1 If you wish to exercise the rights under paragraph 2 above, please:

  • provide us with sufficient information, or we may request for further information, for us to verify your identity to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it; and
  • specify the right which you wish to exercise and identify the relevant Personal Data for this purpose.

3.2 We will endeavour to respond to all legitimate requests within thirty (30) days unless your request is particularly complex or you have made multiple requests. Typically, you will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable administrative fee or refuse to comply with your request.

4. Data Collected

4.1 Personal Data that you provide directly to us. When you use our Site and/or Services, your Personal Data may be collected by us through your voluntary submission .

Personal Data” means data that may enable us to identify you personally, including data about a person who can be identified (i) from that data, or (ii) from that data and other information to which we have or are likely to have access.

4.2 Personal data from third party sources. We may also collect certain of your Personal Data from third party sources, for example, from credit reporting agencies, social media sites, our affiliates, analytics providers, advertisers, data brokers, and identity verification and compliance service providers.

4.3 Non-Identifiable or Aggregated Data. When you interact with us through our Site, we may receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. We may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by our affiliates, agents or service providers. We may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to the Site, the number of visitors to each page of the Site, the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers, and how users use and interact with our Services. Also, in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve users of our Services, we often conduct research on our customer demographics, interests and behaviour based on Personal Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analysed on an aggregate basis. We may share such non-identifiable and aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners, but this type of non-identifiable and aggregate information does not identify you personally. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our Services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes. However, if we combine or connect such non-identifiable or aggregated data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy.

We shall endeavour to cease processing your Personal Data, destroy or delete the information, or remove the means by which the data can be associated with you within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the said notice, unless its retention is required to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting or other business requirements or to protect our interests.

We may also share your Personal Data with our business partners whom we collaborate in providing our Services, in which case these third parties are prohibited from using your Personal Data for purposes not relevant to their engagement or services.

We will not share your Personal Data with non-governmental entities, except where such entities have been duly authorised to carry out specific governmental activities.

8.2 As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganisation, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets.

8.3 We may also share non-Personal Data (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand usage patterns for certain Services or conduct independent research based on such anonymous usage data.

8.4 If you request that we remove your Personal Data in exercise of your rights, we will convey that request to any third-party with whom we have shared your data. We are not, however, responsible for revising or removing your Personal Data obtained by any third party who has previously been provided your information by us in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any third party to whom you have provided such information (whether by sharing your login and password, or otherwise).

Personal Data provided by you will be retained and stored as long as the purpose for which the data was required continues, unless you request that we remove your Personal Data in exercise of your rights. Thereafter, we will destroy or delete the information, or remove the means by which the data can be associated with you, unless its retention is required to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting or other business requirements or to protect our interests. We will however periodically review the data we hold, and erase or anonymise it when we no longer need it.
