4.1       You have the right to request access to, update and/or correct your personal data held by us. If you wish to do so, please contact our Data Protection Officer at SSCL (details below) and provide details of your access, update and/or correction request. SSCL reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee in order to meet your requests. Upon payment of the requisite fee and/or receipt of your request, your request shall be processed within [30] days. Do note that the PDPA exempts certain types of personal data from being subject to your access or correction request.

4.2       You may withdraw your consent given, whether in part or as a whole. Should you wish to withdraw your consent in part or whole, please send an email to our Data Protection Officer and provide details of your withdrawal request. We will process your request within a reasonable time from such a request for withdrawal of consent being made, and will thereafter not collect, use and/or disclose your personal data in the manner stated in your request. However, your withdrawal of consent could result in certain legal consequences arising from such withdrawal including (to the extent of withdrawal) not being able to continue with your existing relationship with us

4.3       If you wish to verify the details you have submitted to SSCL or if you wish to check on the manner in which SSCL uses and processes your personal data, SSCL’s security procedures mean that SSCL may request proof of identity before we reveal information. This proof of identity may take the form of full details of name, login details and NRIC/BC/FIN or Passport number. You must therefore keep this information safe as you will be responsible for any action, which SSCL takes in response to a request from someone using your login details. We would strongly recommend that when you login to your online account in our websites / portals that you do not use the browser’s password memory function as that would permit other people using your terminal to access your personal information.

6.2       SSCL will also put in place reasonable security arrangements to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected and secured.

However, SSCL cannot assume responsibility for any unauthorised use of your personal data by third parties which are wholly attributable to factors beyond our control.

6.3       SSCL will also put in place measures such that your personal data in our possession or under our control is destroyed and/or anonymized as soon as it is reasonable to assume that: (i) the purpose for which that personal data was collected is no longer being served by the retention of such personal data; and (ii) retention is no longer necessary for any other legal or business purposes.

6.4       Where your personal data is to be transferred out of Singapore, SSCL will comply with the PDPA in doing so. In this regard, this includes us obtaining your consent and taking appropriate steps to ascertain that the foreign recipient organisation of the personal data is bound by legally enforceable obligations to provide to the transferred personal data a standard of protection that is at least comparable to the protection under the PDPA.
