All provision of personal data is on a voluntary basis. However, in most cases, if you do not provide information about yourself which FEOR has requested, FEOR may not be able to provide you with the relevant product or service.

We will only use, disclose and/or transfer your personal data for the purposes you have been notified of and consented to or which are permitted under applicable laws and regulations.

Where personal data is disclosed or transferred to organizations outside of FEOR who handle or obtain personal data as service providers to FEOR, we require such organizations to acknowledge the confidentiality of such personal data, undertake to respect any individual's right to privacy and comply with the PDPA (and where applicable, the GDPR) and this Policy and use such personal data only for our purposes and otherwise follow our reasonable directions with respect to this data.

In addition, where personal data is transferred overseas and we may need to process or deal with your personal data outside Singapore, we will ensure that such transfer is in compliance with the PDPA and this Policy or is permitted under applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations.

FEOR has appointed a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) to oversee our management of personal data in accordance with the PDPA (and where applicable, the GDPR).

We regard breaches of your privacy very seriously and we have implemented measures to secure and protect your information, such as training our employees who handle your personal data to respect the confidentiality of such personal data and your privacy, storing personal data in a combination of secure computer storage facilities and paper based files and other records, taking steps to protect the personal data we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

However, you will appreciate that it is not for us to perfectly secure your personal data from cyber attacks, such as hacking, spyware and viruses. Accordingly, you will not hold us liable for any unauthorized disclosure, loss or destruction of your personal data arising from such risks.

The PDPA also requires us not to store personal data longer than necessary. We will cease to retain your personal data when we no longer require such personal data for the purposes we originally notified you of or for any business or legal needs.

We endeavour to ensure that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date. We realise that such personal data changes frequently with changes of address and other personal circumstances. We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible in order to update any personal data it holds about you. Please complete the Personal Data Correction Form and send to the DPO of FEOR you have been dealing with. Our contact details are set out below. We may require you to verify your identity.

To make a request to access the personal data we hold about you, please contact the DPO of FEOR you have been dealing with in writing using the Request to Access Personal Data Form. We will require you to verify your identity and to specify what data you require. Depending on the circumstance, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover the cost of verifying the application and locating, retrieving, reviewing and copying any material requested. If the data sought is extensive, we will advise the likely cost in advance and can help to refine your request if required.

The consent that you provide will remain valid until such time it is being withdrawn by you in writing. To make a request to withdraw your consent previously given, please contact the DPO of FEOR in writing.

Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require reasonable time (depending on the complexity of the request and to be determined on a case by case basis) for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same.

If you consider that any action of FEOR breaches the PDPA (or where applicable, the GDPR) or this Policy, you can make a complaint to the Coordinating DPO by completing the Complaint Form. FEOR will endeavour to act promptly in response to a complaint.

You can contact the Data Protection Officer of FEOR at DPO@fareastorchard.com.sg
