Privacy Policy

This Data Protection Policy (“Policy”) sets out the basis upon which P K Loke & Partners LLP and its affiliates (“we”, “us”, “our” or “P K Loke & Partners”), governs the collection, use and disclosure of personal data submitted to P K Loke & Partners pages of pklokeandpartnersllp.com or entrust.com.sg, and explains how we collect and handle personal data of individuals and comply with the requirements of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore and its regulation(s) (“PDPA”).

We believe that privacy is an important individual right and this policy provides information regarding our use and disclosure of personal data collected from individuals via our websites (or the “website”).

PERSONAL DATA

  1. As used in this 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.
  2. Depending on the nature of your interaction with us, some examples of personal data which we may collect from you include your name and identification information such as your NRIC number, contact information such as your address, email address or telephone number, mobile number, nationality, gender, date of birth, marital status, photographs and other audio-visual information, employment information and financial information such as credit card numbers, debit card numbers or bank account information.
  3. 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

    1. We generally do not collect your personal data unless:
      1. it is provided to us voluntarily by you directly or via a third party who has been duly authorised by you to disclose your personal data to us (your “authorised representative”) after
        1. you (or your authorised representative) have been notified of the purposes for which the data is collected, and
        2. you (or your authorised representative) have provided written consent to the collection and usage of your personal data for those purposes, or
      2. collection and use of personal data without consent is permitted or required by the PDPA or other laws. We shall seek your consent before collecting any additional personal data and before using your personal data for a purpose which has not been notified to you (except where permitted or authorised by law).
    2. We collect only personally identifiable information that is specifically and voluntarily provided by visitors to P K Loke & Partners’s website. P K Loke & Partners receives limited identifiable information, such as name, Title, company address, email address, and telephone and fax numbers, from website visitors. Typically, identifying information is collected to:
      • Register for certain areas of the site
      • Inquire for further information
      • Distribute requested reference materials
      • Submit resumes
    3. Demographic information, including gender and occupation, is not actively sought, but may be submitted when a visitor responds to an online job application. It is P K Loke & Partners’s policy to limit the information collected to only the minimum information required to complete a visitor’s request. In any instance where non-mandatory information is sought, the website visitor will be notified of this at the point of collection.
    4. Although most publications are provided as downloads, visitors may also have the opportunity to purchase P K Loke & Partners publications either by calling us, or by faxing order forms. We will collect order information and a customer’s credit card information, where applicable, in order to facilitate shipment and payment for the publication.
    5. Visitors are also able to send email through the site. Their messages will contain the user’s screen name and email address, as well as any additional information the user may wish to include in the message. Because we use the website as a recruiting tool, a visit to the website may also result in the user sending a resume to an individual within P K Loke & Partners.
    6. P K Loke & Partners’s intention is not to seek any sensitive information through our website unless legally required for recruiting purposes. Sensitive information includes a number of types of data relating to: race or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious or other similar beliefs; trade union membership; physical or mental health; sexual life or criminal record. We suggest that you do not provide sensitive information of this nature. If you do wish to provide sensitive information for any reason, P K Loke & Partners accepts your explicit consent to use that information in the ways described in this policy or as described at the point where you choose to disclose this information.

By submitting the information in our website, you acknowledge that you have consented to our processing data in accordance with the policy for the purposes described.

Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please inform us in writing in the manner described in clause 14 above.
