Dear customers,
We are sharing this introduction to help you to understand our data protection and privacy practice.
Lawful Basis and Transparency: We only collect what is needed
We adopt a pragmatic "Data-light, Data-tight" approach in our business conduct. We conduct an information audit to determine what information we process and who has access to it. There is a legal justification for the data processing activities. Our company has presented clear information about our data processing in different businesses and legal justification in the CapitaLand Group Personal Data Protection Policy (See enclosed).
How we practice Data Security
Data protection is taken into account at all times, from the moment we collect your personal data in business activities. We encrypt, pseudonymize or anonymize the data wherever possible. This is something that our staff are always aware of. We have internal data protection policies and IT security policy for our staff, and build awareness about data protection. Our business leaders know when to conduct a data protection impact assessment and we have a process in place to carry it out. For data breach matter, we have a process to notify authorities and other stakeholders that is guided by an internal data breach reporting policy and business continuity management programme.
Accountability and Governance are our Priorities
We have Data Protection by Design and by Default. Our company has designated business leaders and data protection champions across the company to ensure compliance with EU GDPR, Singapore PDPA and other data protection/privacy laws and regulations in the countries we operate in. We signed data processing agreement with third parties that process personal data in the business activities. We have a global network of internal Data Protection Officers in the countries / regions we operate in, who are familiar with our business activities and data processing, to ensure that your personal data is protected according to our policies and applicable legislations. As our company is headquartered outside EU, we have also appointed representative in EU.
We respect your Data and Privacy Right
We have proper security procedure to handle our customers who make request about their personal data that is with us. It is easy for our customers to correct or update inaccurate or incomplete information. We do not use automated processes to make decision about our customers. If there is use of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning or use of website cookies to make decision, this is notified to our customers on the relevant company websites where such activities are taking place.
