This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and/or process (collectively, “process”) your personal data. By providing us with your personal data, you agree that we may process your personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (“PDPA”), this Privacy Policy and any other terms, conditions and policies agreed to by you from time to time which relate to the processing of your personal data.
 
We may amend or update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please refer to our website (at www.yschunglaw.com) for the latest version. Where applicable, this Privacy Policy is to be read in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions.
 

How we collect your personal data

In this Privacy Policy, “personal data” means data, whether true or not, about an individual 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.
 
We may collect the following type of personal data from you:

• any information about you in relation to matters on which you instruct us or in which you are involved;

• your attendance records at our seminars, webinars or events;

• your likeness, voice (e.g. in the form of photographs or video recordings);

• your subscription preferences on our mailing list; and

• your online data when you access our website (including your IP address).  

We may collect personal data about you in the following manner:
 

• when you provide the personal data to us (e.g. when you contact us via telephone, email, or by any other means);

• in the ordinary course of our relationship;

• when you register for any of our seminars, webinars and events (including signing up to be on our mailing list);

• when you visit or use our website; and

• when third parties provide it to us. 

We presume that any personal data you provide to us is accurate, complete and up to date.
 

Purposes of processing

We may process your personal data for the following purposes:

• to provide legal advice and services to you in the ordinary course of our work;

• to manage and administer our relationship with you and/or your company (which includes, without limitation, mandatory client due diligence checks and the processing of payments);

• to send you legal updates, newsletters, announcements, and any similar messages to keep you informed of legal developments and our services;

• to respond to your queries, requests and complaints;

We may disclose your personal data for the foregoing purposes to our affiliated entities, third party service providers and agents, other professional advisors and consultants with whom we are dealing on your behalf, any necessary governmental authorities and other third parties including the counsel for an opposing party.

Where we are required to transfer your personal data out of Singapore for any of the abovementioned purposes, we will ensure that your personal data is protected to at least the same standard as that in Singapore. For example, we will ensure that there is a proper legal agreement (whether a contract, binding corporate rules, or otherwise) that covers the data transfer.
 
Where you provide us with any personal data of third parties, you confirm that you have obtained all necessary consents to do so, and that we may process such personal data for the purposes set out above, in accordance with the PDPA.
 
We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for us to use your personal data as described above. However, please be advised that we may retain some of your personal data after our engagement has come to an end, for instance if the data is necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as retaining the information for tax and accounting purposes.
