  1. if we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case Personal Data held by us about our customers will be part of the assets transferred to such third party.


  1. We process your Personal Data for this purpose because we have a legitimate interest to ensure our business can be continued by the buyer. If you object to our use of your Personal Data in this way, the relevant buyer of our business may not be able to provide services to you.


  1. Where applicable, we will ensure that the Personal Data enjoys the same standards of protection as set out in this Privacy Policy.


  1. If we transfer any of your Personal Data to a country or territory outside Singapore, or to our group or affiliates companies located outside Singapore, or to a permitted third party located outside of Singapore, we will only do so if we ensure that the overseas receiving party is bound by legally enforceable obligations to afford the transferred data a standard of protection that is comparable to that under Singapore law. We will also ensure that any overseas recipient is able to provide appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your Personal Data and its confidentiality.


  1. SECURITY


  1. We will use appropriate and adequate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your Personal Data, for example:


  1. all Personal Data you provide to us is stored on our secure servers;


  1. we restrict access to Personal Data to our employees, service providers and contractors on a strictly need-to-know basis and ensure that those persons are subject to contractual confidentiality obligations; and


  1. we review our Personal Data collection, storage and processing practices from time to time to guard against unauthorised access, processing or use.


  1. While we will use reasonable efforts to safeguard your Personal Data, you acknowledge that the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any Personal Data that is transferred from you or to you via the internet; any transmission is at your own risk.


  1. In the event that there is a security breach involving your Personal Data, we will inform you of the incident in accordance with the relevant data protection laws.


  1. WHERE WE STORE YOUR DATA


  1. We may store the Personal Data that we collect from you on internal servers that belong to us and/or our affiliated companies, and/or with commercial cloud storage providers engaged by us and/or our affiliated companies. These servers may be located in or outside of Singapore. Therefore, your data may be transferred to and stored in different jurisdictions and may also be processed by staff operating within the various countries who work for us or for one of our contractors and/or our affiliated companies.


  1. By submitting your Personal Data, you agree to such transfer, storage or processing of your data. In such a case, we will ensure that the receiving organisations will provide a minimum standard of protection to your data that is comparable to the required protection under Singapore law.


  1. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Data is handled securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the relevant privacy laws, but are unable to guarantee the secure transmission of information via the internet.
