PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY POLICY

1. Policy

1.1 This is the personal data protection and privacy policy (“Policy”) of Link Property Management (Redwood) Private Limited, a private company incorporated in Singapore with limited liability (“Link”), and its affiliated organisation(s) (collectively the “Link Group”).

The terms “we”, and “our” in this Policy refer to Link, and/or any of Link’s affiliated organisations which have adopted this Policy. This Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use, disclose and/or process the personal data you have provided to us.

1.2 Application. Each member of the Link Group is committed to complying with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (“PDPA”) and this Policy in its collection, use, disclosure and/or processing of personal data, to ensure that there is accountability and uniformity in the way we protect your personal data. Although this Policy is in common use by Link and its affiliated organisations, each is severally responsible to you to the extent of its own collection, use and disclosure of your personal data, and its own actions.

1.3 Compliance with this Policy. This Policy applies to all personal data you provide to us, or that we may collect about you. Please do not provide any personal data to us if you do not accept and consent to the collection, use, disclosure and/or processing of your personal data under this Policy. 

We may also require you to accept this Policy when you contact, interact, transact or deal with us, or when you access and use our websites, applications or services. If you do not accept and consent to the collection, use, disclosure and/or processing of your personal data under this Policy, we may not be able to transact with you or provide our services to you.

1.4 Concerns and Contacting Us. If you have any feedback or issues in relation to your personal data, or about this Policy, or wish to make a complaint to us, you may contact our Data Protection Officer whose contact details are set out below.
