We will not use your personal data for purposes incompatible with those described above without notifying you and, where required under the PDPA, obtaining your consent.
5. Legal basis and consent
Under the PDPA, we rely on one or more of the following:
- Your consent, which may be express or deemed in accordance with the PDPA
- Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract
- Compliance with legal obligations
- Legitimate business interests that are not overridden by your interests — such as improving our services and ensuring network security
You may withdraw consent for any purpose by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal, and we may continue processing where another legal basis applies.

We may disclose personal data to:
- Our employees and contractors who require access to perform their duties
- Cloud hosting, email, CRM, analytics, and payment service providers

We require third-party processors to protect personal data through contractual safeguards consistent with the PDPA. We do not sell personal data.
7. Cross-border transfers
Some of our service providers may store or process personal data outside Singapore. Where we transfer personal data overseas, we take steps required under the PDPA — including ensuring that the recipient country or organisation provides a standard of protection comparable to that under the PDPA, or obtaining your consent where applicable.
8. Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. Typical retention periods include:
- Enquiry records: up to 24 months from last contact unless an engagement proceeds
- Client project records: duration of engagement plus 7 years for contractual and audit purposes
- Marketing records: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent
- Website logs: up to 12 months
9. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses essential cookies required for basic functionality and, with your consent, optional analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site. You may manage preferences through our cookie banner or your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

- Withdraw consent for processing based on consent
- Request information about how your personal data has been used or disclosed within the past year

11. Accuracy
We take reasonable steps to ensure personal data is accurate and complete. Please notify us promptly if your contact details or other personal data changes.
12. Protection
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of personal data — including access controls, encryption in transit, secure hosting environments, and staff confidentiality obligations. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in significant harm or affect a significant number of individuals, we will notify the Personal Data Protection Commission of Singapore and affected individuals as required under the PDPA and related guidelines.
