5.3.5. Administration and Management of Personal Data

    • The Company shall take reasonable efforts to ensure that

      likely to be used by the Company to make a decision that
      affects customers or disclosed to another organisation.
      Customers shall update the Company of any changes to
      his/her personal data since the time it was first provided to the
      Company. The Company shall not be responsible for relying
      on inaccurate or incomplete personal data arising from the
      customer’s failure to update the Company of any changes in
      his personal data since the time the personal data was first
      provided to the Company.
    • The Company shall put in place reasonable security
      arrangements to ensure that personal data is adequately
      protected and secured. Appropriate security arrangements
      will be taken to prevent any unauthorised access, collection,
      use, disclosure, copying, modification, leakage, loss, damage
      and/or alteration of personal data. However, as far as
      permitted by the laws of Singapore, the Company will not
      assume responsibility for any unauthorised use of customers’
      personal data by third parties which are wholly attributable to
      factors beyond the Company’s control.

      legal, regulatory, business and operational obligations.
    • Where personal data is to be transferred out of Singapore, the

      this may include us entering into an appropriate contract with
      the foreign recipient organisation in relation to the transfer.
    • Retention of Personal Data
      The Company will cease to retain personal data, as soon as it
      is reasonable to assume that the purpose for collection of
      such personal data is no longer being served by such
      retention, and such retention is no longer necessary for legal
      or business purposes. In relation to this, the Company will
      retain personal data relating to claim records for a period as
      deemed necessary for legal requirements by authorities.
    • Website Cookies
      Whenever registered members visit the Company’s website,
      data may be logged to measure website performance and for
      the purposes of assisting with the resolution of any technical
      difficulties. In line with the latest security measures, the
      Session ID shall be purged after each session.
    • Good Email Practices
      Whenever possible, common email groups shall be created
      so that Staff would avoid typing of individual email address (as
      this may inadvertently result in data leaks if the email address
      is typed incorrectly). All emails (including the recipients and
      attachments) shall be reviewed thoroughly before sending
      out.
    • Prohibition of Screenshots of Personal Data
      Staff are prohibited from taking screenshots of personal data
      and information in the email body. If staff receive and/or have
      possession of screenshots, these must be deleted and
      disposed of, as soon as practicable.
    • Encryption of Attachments
      All attachments in emails containing personal data and
      information sent out have to be encrypted with a password,
      and this password will be shared with the recipient
      organisation in order to access the attachment.
    • Transfer of Personal Data outside Singapore
      Personal data may be transferred outside Singapore only
      when needed for the Company to duly perform agreed
      services and fulfill its contractual obligations. In such case, the
      Company shall ensure that the recipient organisation is
      obliged to comply with a standard of protection which is
      comparable to the protection required under the PDPA and in
      accordance with the requirements prescribed therein.
