For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy forms a part of the terms and conditions governing your relationship with us and should be read in conjunction with the Quant LegalTech Terms of Use Agreement and any applicable Subscription Agreement.

TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA 

In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Data” refers to any data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified (a) from that data; or (b) from that data and other information to which we have or are likely to have access, including data in our records as may be updated from time to time.

Examples of such Personal Data you may provide to us may include (depending on the nature of your interaction with us) your name, NRIC, passport or other identification number, telephone number(s), mailing address, email address and any other information relating to any individuals which you have provided us in any forms you may have submitted to us, or via other forms of interaction with you.  You may also provide us with Personal Data of your officers, employees, agents and customers in order for us to provide you with our products and services.

The Personal Data we collect can be either obligatory or voluntary. Obligatory Personal Data are those that we require in order to provide you with our products and services. If you do not provide us with obligatory Personal Data, we would not be able to provide you with our products and services. Voluntary Personal Data are those that are not mandatory in order for us to provide you with our products and services. If you do not provide us with voluntary Personal Data, you can still sign up for our products and services. Obligatory and voluntary Personal Data may differ for each products and service and will be indicated in the application forms.

Apart from Personal Data, we may collect other types of information which is not related to an individual and which is anonymous. For example, the number of website visitors and the number of website users using a particular service. In this way, we hope to improve our customer services.

If you should withdraw your consent to the processing or handling of your Personal Data in respect of any purpose which we may reasonably consider to be essential in order for us to provide you with the products and/or services requested / applied for, we may not be in a position to continue to provide our products or services to you or administer any contractual relationship which may be in place between us. Furthermore, we shall be entitled to treat such withdrawal as your termination of any account / agreement which you may have with us, without prejudice to any rights and remedies which we may have at law against you.

Notwithstanding the above, upon the termination or expiry of your contractual relationship with us we may still continue using or disclosing your Personal Data as may be necessary, required, authorised or permitted for compliance with applicable law or as may be requested by the relevant regulatory bodies, government agencies, statutory boards, administrative bodies, authorities or law enforcement agencies to comply with any laws, rules, guidelines and regulations or schemes to which we may be subject, whether situated locally or overseas.

If you require more than one copy of the Personal Data we hold about you, we may charge an administration fee.

You have the right to receive a subset of the Personal Data we collect from you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and a right to request that we transfer such Personal Data to another party.

The relevant subset of Personal Data is data that you provide us with your consent or for the purposes of performing our contract with you.

If you wish for us to transfer the Personal Data to another party, please ensure you provide details of that party and note that we can only do so where it is technically feasible. We are not responsible for the security of the Personal Data or its processing once received by the third party. We also may not provide you with certain Personal Data if providing it would interfere with another’s rights (e.g. where providing the Personal Data we hold about you would reveal information about another person).

Correction

You have the right to correct any Personal Data held about you that is inaccurate. Please note that while we assess whether the Personal Data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may exercise your right to restrict our processing of the applicable data as described below.

You may request that we erase the Personal Data we hold about you in the following circumstances:

1. 1. you believe that it is no longer necessary for us to hold the Personal Data we hold about you;

2. 2. we are processing the Personal Data we hold about you on the basis of your consent and you wish to withdraw your consent and there is no other ground under which we can process the Personal Data;

3. 3. we are processing the Personal Data we hold about you on the basis of our legitimate interest and you object to such processing. Please provide us with detail as to your reasoning so that we can assess whether there is an overriding interest for us to retain such Personal Data;

4. 4. you no longer wish us to use the Personal Data we hold about you in order to send you promotions, special offers, marketing and lucky draws; or

5. 5. you believe the Personal Data we hold about you is being unlawfully processed by us.

Please also note that you may exercise your right to restrict our processing of the Personal Data whilst we consider your request as described below.

Please provide as much detail as possible on your reasons for the request to assist us in determining whether you have a valid basis for erasure. However, we may retain the Personal Data if there are valid grounds under law for us to do so (e.g., to comply with regulatory obligations in respect of anti-money laundering, counter terrorism financing and customer due diligence legislation and procedures, for the defence of legal claims or freedom of expression) but we will let you know if this is the case.  Please note that after deleting the Personal Data, we may not be able to provide the same level of servicing to you as we will not be aware of your preferences.

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at info@quantlegaltech.com. 

Restriction of Processing to Storage Only

You have a right to require us to stop processing the Personal Data we hold about you other than for storage purposes in certain circumstances. Please note, however, that if we stop processing the Personal Data, we may use it again if there are valid grounds under data protection law for us to do so (e.g. to comply with regulatory obligations in respect of anti-money laundering, counter terrorism financing and customer due diligence legislation and procedures, for the defence of legal claims or for another’s protection).

You may request we stop processing and just store the Personal Data we hold about you where:

1. 1. you believe the Personal Data is not accurate, for the period it takes for us to verify whether the Personal Data is accurate;

2. 2. we wish to erase the Personal Data as the processing we are doing is unlawful but you want us to just store it instead;

3. 3. we wish to erase the Personal Data as it is no longer necessary for our purposes but you require it to be stored for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or

4. 4. you have objected to us processing Personal Data we hold about you on the basis of our legitimate interest and you wish us to stop processing the Personal Data while we determine whether there is an overriding interest in us retaining such Personal Data.

Objection

At any time, you have the right to object to our processing of Personal Data about you in order to send you promotions, special offers, marketing messages, including where we build profiles for such purposes and we will stop processing the Personal Data for that purpose.

You also have the right to object to our processing of Personal Data about you and we will consider your request in other circumstances as detailed below.

You may object where we are processing the Personal Data we hold about you (including where the processing is profiling) on the basis of our legitimate interest and you object to such processing.

Please provide us with a full explanation of your objection so that we can assess whether there is a compelling overriding interest in us continuing to process such data or we need to process it in relation to legal claims. Also note that you may exercise your right to request that we stop processing the Personal Data whilst we make the assessment on an overriding interest by indicating this when you contact us at info@quantlegaltech.com. 

 WHERE WE PROCESS AND STORE PERSONAL DATA

Personal Data will be transmitted to data storage facilities where Quant LegalTech keeps its central records. Personal Data will be transferred to Quant LegalTech’s offices and appointed agents, where appropriate, in Singapore, India and other locations around the world in connection with Quant LegalTech’s performance of the contract with you.

This means that Personal Data will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country and outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), and Switzerland, and in particular to Singapore, India and other locations where we have our own or third party data centers. This is premised on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of the contract of service between you and Quant LegalTech.

If you are an EU or Swiss resident, where we transfer Personal Data outside the EEA and Switzerland, this is done primarily on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of the contract of services between you and Quant LegalTech.

The Personal Data will also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA and Switzerland who work for us, for our suppliers or our business partners. Such staff are engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services.

It should also be noted that where Quant LegalTech processes and stores Personal Data using blockchain technology and relevant distributed or decentralised storage facilities, it should be noted that Quant LegalTech will endeavour to protect your Personal Data in a similarly secure manner as that of a conventional storage facility.

 DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Your Personal Data held by us shall be kept confidential. However, in order to provide you with effective and continuous products and services, and for the purposes listed above (where applicable), your Personal Data may be disclosed to the following parties:

1. 1. affiliates or related companies of Quant LegalTech;
2. 2. companies providing services relating to insurance and/or reinsurance to Quant LegalTech;

In addition, to the extent that we may need to transfer Personal Data outside of Singapore or India, whether to our affiliates, related companies, business partners, authorized agents or third party service providers or simply to data storage facilities, we endeavour to do so in accordance with the Act and applicable law to ensure that we provide a standard of protection to personal data so transferred that is comparable to the protection under the Act.

​HOW YOUR DATA IS PROTECTED

The security of your Personal Data is our priority. Quant LegalTech takes all physical, technical and organisational measures needed to safeguard Personal Data. We will use all reasonable efforts to protect your information in a highly secure data centre, adhering to strict computer security standards.

Personnel who have access to your information will be subjected to disciplinary action should they fail to observe this Privacy Policy and other guidelines, codes or policies which we may issue to them from time to time.

If we disclose any of your Personal Data to our business partners, authorised agents or service providers, we will require them to appropriately safeguard the Personal Data provided to them.

RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose(s) for which it was collected or to comply with legal, regulatory and internal requirements.

However, in exceptional circumstances, we reserve the right to deny you access to your Personal Data and may provide an explanation as required or unless permissible by applicable laws.

​GOVERNING LAW

This Privacy Policy shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with Singapore law. However, we have also endeavoured to set out and comply with the main principles of EU GDPR.
