5. Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose personal data, where appropriate and for the purposes stated above, to:

Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, we will take reasonable steps to require them to protect the personal data and use it only for authorised purposes.

6. Overseas Transfer of Personal Data

Where personal data is transferred outside Singapore, ECON will take reasonable steps to ensure that the receiving party is bound to provide a standard of protection comparable to that required under the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act 2012.

7. Consent, Accuracy and Third-Party Data

By voluntarily providing personal data to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and that you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data as described in this Policy, unless another lawful basis applies.

You should ensure that the personal data you provide is accurate, complete and up to date.

If you provide personal data relating to another individual, such as a family member, caregiver, next-of-kin, employee or representative, you should ensure that you are authorised to do so and, where required, that the individual has been notified of and agreed to the relevant disclosure to ECON.

9. Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as it is needed for legal, regulatory, operational, care, audit, business or other legitimate purposes. When personal data is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, destroy, anonymise or securely dispose of it.

10. Protection of Personal Data

We take reasonable technical, administrative and physical measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or accidental access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal, loss or similar risks. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to apply reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data and our operations

11. Access, Correction and Withdrawal of Consent

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal data that we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data, or withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.

We may need to verify your identity and request sufficient information before processing your request. A reasonable administrative fee may apply for access requests where permitted by law.

If you withdraw consent, this may affect our ability to continue providing certain services, handling requests, or maintaining our relationship with you, depending on the nature and scope of your withdrawal.
