Where required under the PDPA, we will notify you of the relevant purposes and obtain consent where applicable. Individuals in Singapore may also request access to, and correction of, their personal data. Organisations must protect data, stop retaining it when no longer needed, and ensure comparable protection when transferring it overseas.

5. Legal Basis / Basis for Processing Under Singapore PDPA

For Singapore PDPA purposes, we generally process personal data:

with your consent;
where collection, use, or disclosure is reasonably necessary for providing requested products or services;
where required or authorised by law;
where another exception under the PDPA applies.

Where consent is required, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details below. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing already carried out before withdrawal, and may affect our ability to continue providing certain Services. The PDPA generally requires organisations to notify individuals of purposes and obtain consent unless an exception applies.

6. Newsletters, Marketing, and Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter or opt in to receive communications, we may send you:

editorial newsletters;
event invitations;
sponsor or partner-related communications;
updates about new releases, reports, interviews, features, and products;
membership or community updates.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us directly.

If we send marketing messages to Singapore telephone numbers, we will do so in accordance with the PDPA’s Do Not Call provisions, where applicable. Singapore’s DNC rules generally prohibit sending certain marketing voice, text, or fax messages to Singapore numbers listed on the DNC Registry unless an exception applies.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

remember user preferences;
improve website functionality;
understand audience behaviour;
measure campaign performance;
support analytics and content optimisation;
enable advertising and retargeting where used.

Cookies may be session-based or persistent. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect the functionality of the Services.

Under PDPC guidance, cookies can be used for functions such as completing forms, website navigation, authentication, analytics, and advertising technology, depending on how they are configured.

8. Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose your personal data to:

our employees and affiliates on a need-to-know basis;
IT, hosting, cloud storage, analytics, CRM, newsletter, and customer support providers;
event venues, co-hosts, and operational partners;
professional advisers, including lawyers, auditors, insurers, and accountants;
payment service providers, where relevant;
advertising, social media, and technology partners;
regulatory authorities, law enforcement bodies, courts, or government agencies where required by law;
a buyer, investor, or successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets.

We require service providers and partners handling personal data on our behalf to protect it appropriately and process it only for authorised purposes.

9. International Transfers of Personal Data

As a digital media business, we may store or process personal data outside Singapore, including through cloud-based tools and international service providers.

Where we transfer personal data outside Singapore, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient provides a standard of protection comparable to that required under the PDPA, including through contractual safeguards or other legally recognised means. Singapore’s PDPA restricts overseas transfers unless prescribed requirements are met to ensure a comparable standard of protection.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal data in our possession or under our control from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal, or similar risks.

These measures may include:

access controls;
role-based permissions;
secure hosting and encryption where appropriate;
internal confidentiality controls;
vendor due diligence;
monitoring and incident response procedures.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable law.

When personal data is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes, we will cease to retain it, or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with any individual. The PDPA’s retention obligation requires organisations to stop retaining personal data when it is no longer needed for legal or business purposes.

12. Access and Correction

Subject to the PDPA, you may request:

access to personal data about you that we possess or control;
information about how your personal data has been used or disclosed within the previous year, where required by law;
correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

We may need to verify your identity before responding. We may also charge a reasonable administrative fee for access requests where permitted by law, and we may decline requests in circumstances permitted under the PDPA.

The PDPA provides individuals with rights to request access to and correction of personal data held by an organisation.

13. Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal data by contacting us in writing.

Upon receiving your request, we may need reasonable time to process it and explain the consequences, including whether we can continue providing specific Services to you.

14. Data Breach Management

If a data breach occurs, we will assess and respond to it in accordance with our internal procedures and applicable law.

Where required under the PDPA, we will notify the Personal Data Protection Commission and/or affected individuals as soon as practicable. Under PDPC guidance, a notifiable breach should be reported to the PDPC as soon as practicable and no later than 3 calendar days after the organisation determines that the breach is notifiable.

15. Third-Party Websites and Platforms

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, apps, booking tools, social media platforms, or partner pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. You should review their privacy notices separately.

16. Children

Our Services are generally intended for adults and professional audiences interested in business, investment, and lifestyle content. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in a manner that would require additional compliance steps under applicable law. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will review the matter.

17. Data Protection Officer Contact

In accordance with the PDPA, we have designated a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) to oversee questions and requests relating to this Privacy Policy and our handling of personal data. Under Singapore rules, an organisation must designate at least one DPO and make the DPO’s contact information publicly available.
