If you provide us with personal data relating to another individual, you should ensure that you have the authority to do so and, where necessary, that you have obtained that individual’s consent.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, security, analytics, and marketing performance.

These technologies may help us:

We may use tools such as:

  • website analytics tools

Where analytics or research activities involve personal data, organisations remain subject to the PDPA. PDPC guidance also encourages the use of anonymised data where possible. (IMDA PDPC)

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling some cookies may affect certain website functions.

6. Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose your personal data where reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including to:

We do not sell your personal data.

7. Cross-Border Transfers

Some of our service providers or platforms may store or process personal data outside Singapore.

Where personal data is transferred overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transferred personal data continues to receive a standard of protection comparable to that required under the PDPA, as reflected in PDPC guidance on cross-border data transfers. (IMDA PDPC)

8. Data Protection and Security

The PDPA includes a Protection Obligation requiring organisations to make reasonable security arrangements to protect personal data in their possession or under their control. (IMDA PDPC)

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational steps to protect personal data, including, where appropriate:

  • access controls
  • password protection
  • secure website and hosting measures
  • role-based access to enquiry information
  • file and communication controls
  • software, plugin, and system updates
  • reasonable internal handling procedures

However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Retention of Personal Data

The PDPA’s Retention Limitation Obligation generally requires organisations to stop retaining personal data when it is no longer needed for legal or business purposes. (IMDA PDPC)

We may retain your personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for:

  • the purposes for which it was collected
  • legitimate business or operational needs
  • legal, accounting, warranty, dispute, or compliance requirements

When personal data is no longer needed, we may delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of it.

10. Accuracy of Personal Data

The PDPA includes an Accuracy Obligation requiring organisations to make reasonable efforts to ensure personal data used to make decisions about individuals or disclosed to other organisations is accurate and complete. (IMDA PDPC)

We encourage you to provide accurate and complete information and to let us know if your details change.

11. Access and Correction Requests

Under the PDPA, individuals generally have rights to request access to personal data held by an organisation and to request correction of personal data, subject to applicable exceptions. (IMDA PDPC)

If you would like to request:

  • access to personal data we hold about you, or
  • correction of personal data we hold about you,

please contact us using the details below.

We may need to verify your identity and request enough information to process your request. We may also charge a reasonable administrative fee for access requests where permitted by law, and we will let you know before processing such a request if a fee applies.

12. Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal data by contacting us.

Please note that depending on the nature of your request, withdrawing consent may affect our ability to continue communicating with you, provide a quotation, arrange a site visit, deliver services, or support warranty or after-sales matters.

We will process withdrawal requests within a reasonable period, subject to legal or operational limitations.

13. Marketing Communications

If we send you marketing or promotional messages, we will do so in accordance with applicable laws and communication rules.

You may opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by:

  • following the unsubscribe instructions where provided, or

If you are in Singapore, organisations should also consider the PDPA’s Do Not Call framework when sending certain marketing messages to Singapore telephone numbers. (IMDA PDPC)
