(C) TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OVERSEAS
To the extent that Nexapip may need to transfer Personal Data outside of Singapore (such as for data storage, data management and/or consolidation purposes), whether to our parent company, group companies, business partners or third party service providers or to data storage facilities, we shall do so in accordance with the PDPA and ensure that the standard of protection provided to Personal Data so transferred is comparable to the protection required under the PDPA.
(D) CONSENT
Nexapip (including its employees, directors and/or representatives) is required by law to keep Personal Data strictly private and confidential and, save and except as set out in this Privacy Policy, we will not collect, use or disclose any Personal Data without having obtained your prior consent to do so, unless otherwise permitted by law.
Generally, when Nexapip requests for Personal Data in the course of providing you a service and/or product and where you provide us with such Personal Data, there is implied consent that you agree to provide us with your Personal Data in order for us to provide you with the requested service and/or product.
In some circumstances and as required by applicable law, we will seek your express consent when collecting your Personal Data. This is particularly where fresh consent is required for a new purpose in which your Personal Data will be used.
By providing Personal Data relating to a third party (such as (but not limited to) information of your spouse, children and/or parents) to us, you represent and warrant that the consent of that third party has been obtained for the collection, use and/or disclosure of the Personal Data for the purposes listed here.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. However, please note that if you withdraw your consent to any or all purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and depending on the nature of your withdrawal request, this may (materially or otherwise) affect the way in which Nexapip is able to provide its service(s) and/or product(s) to you. Depending on the complexity of your request and the impact on our relationship with you, we may require reasonable time for us to process your request and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities to us.
(E) RETENTION
Personal Data will be held for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable law. Nexapip shall cease to retain Personal Data or remove the means by which Personal Data can be associated with you, as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the purpose for which that Personal Data was collected is no longer valid and retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes.
(F) ACCURACY, ACCESS AND CORRECTION
Nexapip is committing to ensuring that your Personal Data is as accurate and up-to-date as possible. You may contact us at any time if you wish to correct, amend or update your Personal Data or business information (for our corporate clients). To make a request, please visit Personal Data Requests.

Nexapip has in place various security procedures, technical and organisational measures to safeguard your Personal Data. To protect against external attacks, we have in place robust firewalls and security measures to detect, isolate and prevent against hacking and other malware intrusions to our IT systems.

This Privacy Policy applies in conjunction with any other notices, contractual clauses and consent clauses that apply in relation to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Data by us.
This Privacy Policy is amended from time to time or as and when it is required. Such changes to our Privacy Policy shall apply from the time that the same is posted on this website. Your continued use of our website will be taken as acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy, but we will seek your fresh consent before we collect more Personal Data from you or if we wish to use or disclose your Personal Data for new purposes.
