Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases: performing a contract or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract; complying with legal obligations; pursuing legitimate interests that do not override your rights; protecting vital interests where necessary; and obtaining your consent where consent is required. You may withdraw consent at any time, although this will not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.
Disclosure of Personal Data
We may disclose relevant personal data to carefully selected service providers and professional advisers who support our operations, technology, compliance, accounting, document management, security, and financial planning services. We may also disclose data to financial institutions, regulators, government authorities, courts, auditors, insurers, or other parties where required or permitted by law or where necessary to provide a service you have requested.
Service providers may process personal data only under appropriate contractual or legal safeguards and in accordance with our instructions. We do not sell personal data.
International Transfers
Some service providers or recipients may be located outside Singapore or the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we use legally recognised safeguards, such as an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, contractual protections, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our online platform may use essential cookies and similar technologies to provide security, maintain functionality, remember preferences, and understand service performance. Where required by law, non-essential technologies will be used only after obtaining your consent. You can manage cookies through your browser settings or any consent tools made available through our online platform.
Retention of Personal Data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to provide services, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain business records, and meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and professional obligations. Retention periods may vary according to the type of information and the applicable requirements. When data is no longer required, we securely delete, anonymise, or otherwise dispose of it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so you should take appropriate care when providing information and protect any account credentials in your control.
