This Privacy Statement does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, the data collection practices of these third-party sites, and we encourage you to check their privacy statements to learn more about their use of cookies and other technology. If personal data is disclosed as mentioned above, NCC will seek to limit the scope of personal data that is furnished to the amount necessary for the performance of the specific purpose. Unless otherwise precluded by legal process, NCC requires third parties to protect your personal information and abide by applicable privacy laws and regulations.

5. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

You may withdraw the consent that you provide for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data by contacting NCC directly at dpo@newcreation.org.sg at any time.

Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, NCC may require reasonable time (depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship with you) for your request to be processed and for NCC to notify you of the consequences regarding the same. In general, we shall seek to process your request within fourteen (14) business days of receiving it.

Depending on the nature and scope of your request, NCC may not be in a position to continue providing our services to you, whether on the Platforms or otherwise, and NCC shall, in such circumstances, notify you before completing the processing of your request. Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please inform NCC in the manner described above.

You may withdraw your consent to NCC using or disclosing your personal data but withdrawing does not affect our rights where (1) such use or disclosure is required by law, (2) on national/public interest grounds, (3) the personal data in question was collected from publicly available sources or (4) such use or disclosure is necessary in an emergency where the life or health of a person is at risk.

6. ACCESS AND UPDATING

NCC encourages users to regularly access, review and update their accounts on the Platforms with accurate and current information. NCC Hub members may do this online through their NCC Hub accounts.

7. DEACTIVATION, DELETION AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA

If you no longer wish to use our Platforms, you may opt to deactivate or delete your account on our Platforms.

If you make a request to deactivate your account on our Platforms, you will have the option to reactivate your account in accordance with our internal processes, which may be updated from time to time, before your account is deleted. NCC will continue to retain the personal data associated with your account until your account is deleted, in accordance with our internal processes.

If you make a request to delete your account on our Platforms, we will make reasonable efforts to cease to retain the personal data associated with that account and remove the means by which the personal data can be associated with the user in a timely manner. By deleting your account, please note that you will not be able to subsequently reactivate your account, and you would need to create a new account should you wish to engage in any activities that require you to have an account on our Platforms.

In any event, we will store your personal data only for the time period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which such personal data was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws. Once we determine that the retention of your personal data is no longer necessary for those purposes, or that retention is no longer necessary for any legal or business purpose, we will cease to retain your personal data, or anonymise the personal data so that it can no longer be used to identify any particular individual.

8. TRANSBORDER DATA FLOWS

NCC will not transfer your personal data to a country or territory outside Singapore, except as specified in this Privacy Statement. In using the services on our Platforms, you understand, acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data out of Singapore where it is necessary to provide the said services to you.

If your personal data is transferred out of Singapore, NCC will take appropriate steps to ensure that the recipients thereof are bound by legally enforceable obligations (such as laws, contracts, binding corporate rules or any other legally binding instrument), so that your personal data continues to receive a standard of protection that is at least comparable to that provided under the PDPA.

9. VARIATION

NCC may amend this Privacy Statement from time to time. NCC encourages users to visit the Platforms regularly to stay updated on these changes. Users are deemed to have consented to any and all changes to the Platforms and/or this Privacy Statement, as the case may be, from the date such changes are published online.

10. SECURITY

NCC will maintain reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, modification, or destruction.

11. NO RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS CREATED

While NCC will make all reasonable efforts to store personal data collected by NCC in a secure server and/or secure files and keep such information accurate and up-to-date, please note that the Internet is not a secure medium for the transmission of information. Therefore, NCC cannot accept responsibility for, warrant or guarantee the security of information you send to or receive from NCC over the Internet. To the fullest extent allowed by law, NCC disclaims any responsibility or liability for any claim, damage or loss connected to the loss of or unauthorized use of personal data, whether by unauthorized access to the server or files or otherwise.
