19. 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.



OUR WEBSITE



20. When you browse our website, you generally do so anonymously and we do not at our website automatically collect personal data, including your email address, unless you provide such information.

21. Your IP address. Our website may automatically collect your IP address when you browse or visit our website. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you are connected to the Internet. When you visit our website, your IP address is automatically logged in our server. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. From your IP address, we may identify the general geographic area from which you are accessing our website; however, we will not be able to pinpoint the exact geographic location from which you are accessing our website. Generally, we do not link your IP address to anything that will enable us to identify you unless it is required by applicable laws and regulations.

22. Cookies. Our website may automatically store cookies on your device when you browse or visit our website. A cookie is an element of data that a website can store on your device. We use cookies in some parts of our website to store user preferences and record session information. This may also be used to help personalise services on our website. You can adjust settings on your browser so that you will be notified when you receive a cookie. Should you wish to disable the cookies associated with these technologies, you may do so by changing the setting on your browser. However, your ability to use our website or the functionality may be subsequently affected.

We have no control over and do not take any responsibility for these third party websites and their personal data handling practices, and you are encouraged to review the personal data policies of websites you choose to visit which are linked from our website.


TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF SINGAPORE


24. Where you have engaged us to carry out any work outside Singapore, the transfer of your personal data records to these jurisdictions may be necessary to give effect to your instructions and that you request and consent to our transmission of your personal data outside Singapore. Personal data may therefore be exported to, processed and accessed in countries whose laws provide a different level of protection, which may not necessarily be comparable to that provided in Singapore. However, where we do so, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data continues to receive a standard of protection that is at least comparable to that provided under the applicable data protection laws.
