Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on one or more of the following bases: your consent; the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract; compliance with a legal obligation; and our legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
Disclosure of Personal Data
We may disclose personal data where reasonably necessary to provide our services or meet our obligations, including to:
- Professional advisers, insurers, auditors, financial institutions, and service providers supporting our operations.
- Information technology, hosting, security, analytics, document management, and administrative providers acting on our instructions.
- Government agencies, regulators, courts, law enforcement bodies, or other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
We do not sell personal data. We require service providers that process personal data on our behalf to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.
International Transfers
Some service providers or recipients may process personal data outside Singapore or the country where you are located. Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards, such as contractual protections, recognised adequacy mechanisms, or other lawful transfer arrangements.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our online platform may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functions, understand usage, remember preferences, and improve performance. Where consent is required, we will request it before using non-essential technologies. You may adjust your browser settings, although some features may not operate as intended.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide services, maintain accurate records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, and professional requirements. When data is no longer required, we securely delete, anonymise, or otherwise dispose of it where appropriate.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. No online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so you should take care when sharing sensitive financial information.
Your Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal data.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Request deletion, restriction, or objection to certain processing.
- Request portability of certain personal data where this right applies.
We may need to verify your identity before processing a request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law and may explain any lawful reason for refusing or limiting a request.
Children’s Privacy
Our services and resources are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children where doing so would require parental or guardian consent. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
Financial Information Disclaimer
Information on our online platform is provided for general educational purposes and does not, by itself, constitute personalised financial, investment, retirement, insurance, tax, or legal advice. Recommendations depend on verified information about your circumstances and may involve risks. You should consider your objectives and risk tolerance and obtain appropriate professional advice before making financial decisions.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technologies, legal requirements, or privacy practices. The revised policy will be made available on our online platform, and continued use of the service after an update may be subject to the revised terms.
