How do we manage, protect and store your personal data?

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer who will oversee and ensure management of Personal Data in accordance with the PDPA. The contact details of our Data Protection Officer are listed below.

(a) Protection

We take breaches of privacy very seriously and will take all reasonable steps and employ appropriate security measures to ensure that your Personal Data is securely stored and protected against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks.

(b) Accuracy and Correction

We endeavour to ensure that your Personal Data is accurate and complete if the Personal Data is likely to be used by Crown to make a decision that affects you or is likely to be disclosed by Crown to another organisation.

To help us maintain the accuracy of your Personal Data, if there is any change or update in your Personal Data, or if you wish to correct any of your Personal Data which we have, please write to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details below. We will need enough information from you in order to ascertain your identity as well as the nature of your request, so as to be able to process your request.

For a request to correct Personal Data, once we have sufficient information from you to process the request, we will endeavour to correct your Personal Data within 30 days. Where we are unable to do so within the said 30 days, we will notify you of the soonest practicable time within which we can make the correction. Please note that the PDPA exempts certain types of Personal Data from being subject to your correction request.

We will also be charging you a service fee for the handling and processing of your requests to access your Personal Data. We will provide you with a written estimate of the fee we will be charging. Please note that we are not required to respond to or process your access request until you have agreed to pay the fee.

We will only retain Personal Data for as long as the retention is required for (i) the purposes for which such Personal Data was collected and (ii) for legal and business purposes. Generally we do not retain Personal Data for a period of more than 7 years after the original purposes for which the Personal Data was collected have ceased to be applicable, unless otherwise required by law.
