Before we collect, use or disclose your personal data, we will notify you of the purpose(s) of such collection, usage and disclosure.  As far as possible, we will not collect excessive and / or irrelevant personal data for the stated purpose(s). By providing your personal data to us, you acknowledge and agree that you have fully read and understood this policy, and are consenting to the collection, use, processing and disclosure of your personal data as described in this policy. 

You may, in certain circumstances, be deemed to have provided consent to the collection, use and / or disclosure of personal data for a purpose – you may find an explanation of such ‘deemed consent’ at https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/PDPA2012#pr15-.

6.2 Third-Party Consent

If you are carrying out a transaction with us, having a face-to-face meeting with us, and / or providing us with any personal data on behalf of another individual, you must first notify and obtain consent from that other individual before we can collect, use and / or disclose his or her personal data.  Such consent must be provided to us in writing.
