    processing of your request. Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please

    (except where we are not required to do so under the PDPA).
    PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. We generally rely on personal data provided by you (or your authorised representative). In

    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.

  16. 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

    business purposes.
    TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF SINGAPORE

    comparable to that provided under the PDPA.
