Privacy Policy

 

Your personal information is important to Olea Global Pte. Ltd. and it is our policy to respect and protect your personal information.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, manage and share the personal information we hold about you, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It also tells you how you can exercise your privacy rights.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that we collect through our website at https://www.olea.net and our mobile applications (collectively, the “Platform”), as well as personal information that we may collect about you from time to time from other lawful sources, such as government databases.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your personal information, then please contact us using the contact details provided at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.

  1. What personal information do we collect about you?

Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you or that we can link to you and which we have in our possession or control.

The types of personal information that we collect about you typically include: your name, contact details, employer or organisation that you represent, proof of identity, tax identification number, residence country and date of birth.

We collect or receive personal information in a few different ways:

Information you provide to us: We collect personal information from your interactions with us via the Platform (for example, when you create a user account on the Platform or when you communicate with us or other parties on the Platform) or that you give to us (for example, when you email us or contact us via other channels). Often, you choose what personal information to provide to us, but sometimes we require certain information in order for you to use, and for us to provide you with, the Platform and our services.

Information we obtain from other sources: From time to time, we may also collect or receive information about you from third party sources such as publicly available databases, credit reference agencies and other lawful sources. We collect this information to assist us in providing, evaluating and improving our Platform and offerings, or to help us comply with legal and compliance requirements like anti-money laundering and sanctions requirements. We will only collect information from third party sources where these third parties have represented that you gave your consent to disclose your personal information with us or that they are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal information to us.

Information collected automatically through your use of the Platform: We will also collect information on an automated basis when you use the Platform or our services. We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Platform. Specifically, the information we collect automatically may include information like internet protocol (“IP”) address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser-type, broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) and other technical information. We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our Platform, including the pages accessed and links clicked.

We may also collect precise geolocation data pertaining to your device, if you have consented to providing this to us through your device settings. We may use this information to provide, promote, and improve our services (for example, understanding the country you reside in) and for related reasons, such as sanctions, fraud prevention and security purposes. Please note that if you do not consent to providing your geolocation data, certain features of the Platform may not work.

The information we collect automatically enables us to better understand the visitors who come to our Platform, where they come from, and what content on our Platform is of interest to them. This enables us to improve the quality and relevance of our Platform to our visitors.

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels, ad tags and device identifiers) to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off and across the Platform, including when you use different devices. To learn more, including how to change your cookie settings, please see below.

  1. Keeping your data secure

The security of your personal information is important to us. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you, designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. While we monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, we cannot guarantee 100% security of any information that you send us. Accordingly, you will not hold us liable for any unauthorised disclosure, loss or destruction of your personal information arising from such risks.

When using external service providers, we require that they adhere to security standards mandated by us. We may do this through contractual provisions, including any required by relevant privacy regulators, and oversight of the service provider.

Personal information may be transferred to, or stored at, locations outside of Singapore or the place of original data collection. In all cases, however, any transfer of your personal information to another location will be compliant with applicable data protection law. Regardless of where personal information is transferred, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate technical and organisational measures are put in place to protect your personal information.

  1. Data Retention

We retain your personal information in line with our legal and regulatory obligations and for business and operational purposes. The period of retention will vary in accordance with the data type, the purpose for which are processing your personal information and our legal obligations. Subject to applicable law, we will cease to retain your personal information when we no longer require such personal information for the purposes we originally notified you of or for any business or legal needs.

  1. Your rights

You may have a variety of data protection rights, depending on your geographical location and applicable law. These rights may include:

  • the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you (please note that there may be circumstances in which we are entitled to refuse requests for access to copies of personal information);
  • the right to request that we correct or update your personal information if it is inaccurate or incomplete; and

You also have the right to opt-out of marketing communications that you have previously signed up to receive at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you.

Therefore, you may still receive marketing or promotional materials/communication during this period of time. Additionally, opting out of marketing communications does not mean that we cannot continue using and disclosing your personal information for other purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
