“personal data” means data, whether true or not, about a customer who can be identified: (a) from that data; or (b) from that data and other information to which we have or are likely to have access. Depending on the nature of your interaction with us, some examples of personal data which we may collect from you include your name and contact information such as your address, email address or telephone number, nationality, gender, date of birth, marital status, photographs and other audio-visual information (such as CCTV recordings), employment information and financial information such as credit card numbers, debit card numbers or bank account information.

2. What do we use your personal information for?

The personal information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:

H. To transmit to any unaffiliated third parties including our third party service providers and agents, and relevant governmental and/or regulatory authorities, whether in Singapore or abroad, for the aforementioned purposes; and

I. Any other incidental business purposes related to or in connection with the above, which may at times include, but not be limited to: academic programme management and quality review; audit requirements; regulatory reporting; law enforcement or investigation; subpeona or other legal directive; other specific requests from official government or statutory bodies.

The purposes listed in the above clauses may continue to apply even in situations where your relationship with us (for example, pursuant to a contract) has been terminated or altered in any way, for a reasonable period thereafter (including, where applicable, a period to enable us to enforce our rights under any contract with you).

3. Will your personal information be passed on to any third parties?

We may disclose your personal data:

a. where such disclosure is required for performing obligations in the course of or in connection with our provision of the products or services requested by you; or

b. to third party service providers, agents and other organisations we have engaged to perform any of the functions listed in Section 3 above for us.

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal data to others.

4. Will you be able to withdraw your consent earlier provided to us?

Yes, the consent that you provide for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data will remain valid until such time it is being withdrawn by you in writing. You may withdraw consent and request us to stop using and/or disclosing your personal data for any or all of the purposes listed above by submitting your request in writing or via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided below.

Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require reasonable time (depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship with you) for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities to us. In general, we shall seek to process your request within fourteen (14) business days of receiving it. However, the request is still subject to approval.

Whilst we respect your decision to withdraw your consent, please note that depending on the nature and scope of your request, we may not be in a position to continue providing our products or services to you and we shall, in such circumstances, notify you before completing the processing of your request. Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please inform us in writing in the manner described above.

Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect our right to continue to collect, use and disclose personal data where such collection, use and disclose without consent is permitted or required under applicable laws.

5. How long do we retain your personal data?

We may retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws.

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 the purpose for which the personal data was collected, and is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes.

6. What else should you know about data protection?

We generally rely on personal data provided by you (or your authorized representative). In order to ensure that your personal data is current, complete and accurate, please update us 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. We do not assume responsibility for the publication of the information due to errors during transmission or due to unauthorised access by third parties.
