2. What is Personal Data?

• 'Personal data' means all the information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (that is, an individual) – for example, your name, telephone number, email address and street / mailing address

3. General Information about How We Process Personal Data

• 3.1 Standard of data protection laws
  • Some countries in ASEAN do not yet have data protection laws. If you live in such a country, we generally aim to protect your personal data as if there were data protection laws that apply to you.
  • The data protection laws in some countries in ASEAN are different from the data protection laws in other countries in ASEAN. We generally aim to protect your personal data as if the strictest standard of data protection law applies to you.
• 3.2 General principles that we apply when we process personal data
  • We collect personal data about you only for specific and legitimate purposes. We notify you about those purposes and we process such personal data only in ways that are compatible with the specific and legitimate purposes that we tell you about. We process personal data about you lawfully and fairly.
  • We only collect personal data about you that is adequate and not excessive in relation to the purpose(s) for which we process it. We take care to make sure such personal data is accurate and relevant and, where necessary for the purposes for which we process it, we keep it up-to-date. We retain personal data about you only for so long as we need to do so for legal and business purposes. For so long as we retain such personal data we make reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks.
• 3.3 Lawful bases of processing
  • We want to treat all of the individuals with whom we interact equally, but sometimes we cannot do so because of the way we must apply the laws. In Singapore, the data protection law requires us to obtain your consent before we collect, use, disclose and store (collectively, ‘Process’) personal data about you, except where there is an exception to the requirement for consent. For example, we do not need consent to process personal data to respond to an emergency that threatens someone’s life, health or safety.
  • Elsewhere in ASEAN, the data protection laws lay out the lawful bases on which we may process personal data about you. Broadly, these are:
    • where processing personal data is necessary for us to fulfil a contract we have with you – for example, where we have provided you with a product warranty – or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract
    • where the processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject
    • where the processing is necessary to protect your vitally important interests, including your life and health
    • where the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, except where such legitimate interests are over ridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms and/or
    • where we have your consent to process personal data about you
