Personal Data Protection Policy

 

The purpose of this document is to inform you how KT GARAGE manages Personal Data which is subject to Singapore Personal Data Protection Act (No. 26 of 2012) (the “PDPA”) which governs the collection, use and disclosure of individuals’ personal data by organizations. 

​

KT GARAGE is committed to safeguarding the personal information entrusted to us by our customers. We manage your personal information in accordance with the obligations guided by Personal Data Protection Commission Singapore. This policy outlines the principles and practices we follow in protecting your personal information. This policy also applies to any person providing services on our behalf.

 

HOW DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA?

​

We generally collect Personal Data in the following ways:

  • when you submit any form, including but not limited to application forms or other forms relating to any of our products and services;

  • when you enter into any agreement or provide other documentation or information in respect of your interactions with us, or when you use our products and services;

  • when you interact with our staff, including customer service officers, for example, via telephone calls (which may be recorded), letters, fax, face-to-face meetings, social media platforms and emails;

  • when you use our electronic services, or interact with us via our websites or use services on our websites;

  • when you request that we contact you or request that you be included in an email or other mailing list;

  • when you respond to our promotions, initiatives or to any request for additional Personal Data;

  •  when your images are captured by us via CCTV cameras while you are within our premises, or via photographs or videos taken by us or our representatives when you attend events at our premises;

  • when you are contacted by, and respond to, our marketing representatives and customer service officers;

We normally collect customer data directly from customers. We may collect your data from other persons with your consent or as authorized by law. We inform our customers, before or at the time of collecting personal data, of the purposes for which we are collecting the data. However, we do not provide this notification when a customer volunteers information for an obvious purpose such as producing a credit card for a purchase payment when the data will only be used to process the payment.

 

 If you provide us with any Personal Data relating to a third party (e.g. information of your spouse, children, parents, and/or employees), by submitting such information to us, you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of the third party to provide us with their Personal Data for the respective purposes.

 

You should ensure that all Personal Data submitted to us is complete, accurate, true and correct. Failure on your part to do so may result in our inability to provide you with the products and services you have requested, or delays in providing you with products and services you have requested, or processing your applications.

​

We ask for consent to collect, use or disclose customer personal data, except in specific circumstances where collection, use or disclosure without consent is authorized or required by law. We may assume consent in cases where you volunteer information for an obvious purpose.

Our customers may withdraw consent to the use and disclosure of personal data at any time, unless the personal data is necessary for us to fulfill our legal obligations.

HOW DO WE SAFEGUARD PERSONAL DATA?

​

KT GARAGE will take reasonable efforts to protect Personal Data in our possession or our control by making reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks. However, we cannot completely guarantee the security of any Personal Data we may have collected from or about you, or that for example no harmful code will enter our website (for example viruses, bugs, Trojan horses, spyware or adware). You should be aware of the risks associated with using websites.

 

While we strive to protect your Personal Data, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us via the Internet or through the use of our electronic services, and we urge you to take every precaution to protect your Personal Data when you use such platforms. We recommend that you change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and ensure that you use a secure browser.

 

If applicable, you undertake to keep your username and password secure and confidential and shall not disclose or permit it to be disclosed to any unauthorized person, and to inform us as soon as reasonably practicable if you know or suspect that someone else knows your username and password or believe the confidentiality of your username and password has been lost, stolen or compromised in any way or that actual or possible unauthorized transactions have taken place. We are not liable for any damages resulting from any security breaches, on unauthorized and/or fraudulent use of your username and password. 

 

ACCESS TO RECORDS CONTAINING PERSONAL DATA

​

Customers of KT GARAGE have access rights to their own personal data in a record that is in our custody or under our control, subject to some exceptions. For example, organizations are required under the Personal Data Protection Act to refuse to provide access to information that would reveal personal data about another individual. Organizations are authorized under the Act to refuse access to personal data if disclosure would reveal confidential information. Access may also be denied if the information is privileged or contained in mediation records.

 

If we denied a request in whole or part, we will provide the reasons for the refusal. In some cases where exceptions to access apply, we may withhold that information and provide you with the remainder of the record.
