with us (for example, pursuant to a contract) has been terminated or altered in
any way, for a reasonable period thereafter (including, where applicable, a
period to enable us to enforce our rights under any contract with you).
WITHDRAWING YOUR CONSENT
8. The
consent that you provide for the collection, use and disclosure of your
personal data will
remain valid until such time it is being withdrawn by you
in writing. You may withdraw consent and request us to stop using and/or
disclosing your personal data for any or all of the purposes listed above by
submitting your request in writing or via email to our Data Protection Officer
at the contact details provided below.
9. Upon
receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require
reasonable
time
(depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship
with you) 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 to us. In general, we shall seek to
process your request within ten (10) business days of receiving it.
10. Whilst we respect your decision to withdraw your consent,
please note that depending on the
nature and scope of your request, we may not
be in a position to continue providing our goods
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 in
clause 8 above.
11.
Please note that withdrawing
consent does not affect our rights to continue to collect, use and disclose
personal data where such collection, use and disclose without consent is
permitted or required under applicable laws.
ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
12.
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 in writing
or via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided
below.

Please note that a reasonable fee
may be charged for an access request. If so, we will inform you of the fee before
processing your request.
14.
We will respond to your request as
soon as reasonably possible. Should we not be able to
respond to your request within thirty (30) days after receiving your request,
we will inform you in writing within thirty (30) days of the time by which we
will be able to respond to your request. If we are unable to provide you with
any personal data or to make a correction requested by you, we shall generally
inform you of the reasons why we are unable to do so (except where we are not required
to do so under the PDPA).
PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
15.
To safeguard
your personal data from unauthorised access,
collection, use, disclosure, copying,
modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced appropriate
administrative, physical and technical measures such as up-to-date antivirus
protection, encryption and the use of privacy filters to secure all storage and
transmission of personal data by us, and disclosing personal data both
internally and to our authorised third party service
providers and agents only on a need-to-know basis.
16.
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.
ACCURACY OF PERSONAL DATA
17.
We generally rely on personal data
provided by you (or your authorised representative).
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 in writing or via email at the contact details provided
below.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA
18.
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.
19.
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.
TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF SINGAPORE
20.
We generally
do not transfer your personal data to countries outside of Singapore. In
the event where transfer of personal data is necessary due to legally
enforceable obligations, 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.
