PERSONAL DATA

As used in this Policy, "personal data" means data, whether true or not, about a job applicant who can be identified: (a) from that data; or (b) from that data and other information to which we have or are likely to have access. Other terms used in this Policy shall have the meanings given to them in the PDPA (where the context so permits). COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA 3.

You may withdraw consent and request us to stop using and/or disclosing your personal data for any or all of the purposes listed above by submitting your request in writing or via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided below. 6. In general, we shall seek to process and effect your written request to withdraw your consent within [30] days of receiving it.

We shall, in such circumstances, notify you before completing the processing of your request (as outlined above). Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please inform us in writing in the manner described in clause 5 above. 8.

If we are unable to provide you with any personal data or to make a correction requested by you, we shall generally inform you of the reasons why we are unable to do so (except where we are not required to do so under the PDPA). PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA 12. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal data of job applicants is securely stored or filed. ACCURACY OF PERSONAL DATA 13.

TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF SINGAPORE 16. We generally do not transfer your personal data to countries outside of Singapore. However, if we do so, we will obtain your consent for the transfer to be made and 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 PDPA.
