PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
We make reasonable security measures (Administrative, Physical and Technical) to protect individual personal data in our possession from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks. For example, (a) implementing robust policies and procedures (with disciplinary consequences for breaches) regarding confidentiality obligations, (b) proper disposal of confidential documents which are no longer needed, through shredding or similar means (c) your personal data is stored in secured computerised databases which requires a password to gain access.
​
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.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA
We may retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which they were collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws.

We will cease to retain your personal data as soon as it is reasonable to assume that (a) purpose for which the personal data was collected is no longer being served by retention of the personal data and (b) retention is no longer necessary for any legal or business purposes.
​
TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA OVERSEAS
We generally do not transfer your personal data to countries outside of Singapore. However, if we do so, we will obtain your consent for the transfer to be made and 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.
