1. Scope

In connection with the Personal Data Protection Act (No. 26 of 2012) (“the Act”), this policy sets out how we, Singapore Computer Guys Pte Ltd (“ComputerGuys”), manage personal data which is subject to the Act. The security of your personal data is important to us. This policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, process and protect your personal data.

When you visit our websites or request a service from ComputerGuys, your use or continued use of our services shall be deemed as your acceptance and agreement to be bound by the provisions of this policy.

This policy supplements but does not supersede nor replace any other consent you may have previously provided to us in respect of your personal data.

For the purposes of the Act, we are a data intermediary when we process personal data on behalf of and for the purposes of another organisation. At the same time, we also collect use and disclose personal data for purposes that are reasonable and appropriate.

This policy forms part of the terms and conditions, if any, governing your specific relationship with any entity within ComputerGuys and should be read in conjunction with such terms of engagement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this policy and the terms of engagement, the terms of engagement shall prevail to the fullest extent permissible by law.
