Personal Data Privacy Policy

This Data Protection Policy (“Data Protection Policy”) is to inform you how Mothers Choice of Revco Enterprise Pty. Ltd. (including its related corporations and business units) (collectively, “we”, “us”, or “our”) may collect, use, disclose or otherwise process your personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act (No. 26 of 2012) (“PDPA”). This Data Protection Policy applies to personal data in our possession or under our control, including personal data in the possession of organisations which we have engaged to collect, use, disclose or process personal data for our purposes.

  1. PERSONAL DATA

    1. As used in this Data Protection 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. This includes but is not limited to the personal data of any vendor, contractor, consultant, hotel guest or visitor, property owner or tenant, service apartment tenant or occupier, retail mall tenant or customer, shareholder or investor, or job applicant or intern.

    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, 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. In general, we do not collect, use or disclose your NRIC number or a copy of the NRIC, except in the following circumstances:

      1. Collection, use or disclosure of the NRIC number or copy of the NRIC is required under the law; or

      2. Collection, use or disclosure of the NRIC number or copy of the NRIC is necessary to accurately establish and verify your identity to a high degree of fidelity.

    4. In situations where we have to collect, use or disclose your NRIC number or a copy of the NRIC, we will notify you of the purpose for doing so. We will also ensure that there are adequate security arrangements to prevent any unintended disclosure of the NRIC and the information contained therein. Where applicable, we may also collect your partial NRIC number.

    5. Other capitalised terms used in this Data Protection Policy shall have the meanings given to them in the PDPA (where the context so permits).
