Personal data means data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified from that data, or from that data together with other information to which we have or are likely to have access.

- Information required for client due diligence and anti-money laundering checks under the Legal Profession (Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism) Rules
- Technical information collected automatically when you visit this website, including IP address, browser type and pages viewed
3. How we collect personal data
We collect personal data when you submit an enquiry through our website contact form, contact us by telephone, WhatsApp or email, engage us to act for you, or when it is provided to us by third parties in the course of a matter, including courts, government agencies, other law firms and financial institutions.
4. Purposes for which we use personal data
We use personal data to:
- Respond to your enquiry and assess whether we are able to act for you, including conflict of interest checks
- Provide legal advice and representation, and conduct your matter
- Carry out client due diligence and satisfy our anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations
- Administer billing, receive payment and manage client accounts

- Maintain our records and manage our internal administration
- Respond to, or comply with, any request from a court, law enforcement or regulatory authority
5. Legal professional privilege and confidentiality
Information you provide to us in the course of seeking or receiving legal advice may be subject to legal professional privilege and to our professional duty of confidentiality. Those protections operate in addition to, and are not limited by, this Privacy Policy. Nothing in this Privacy Policy authorises us to disclose privileged or confidential information except as permitted or required by law or by your instructions.
Please note that submitting an enquiry through this website does not create a solicitor and client relationship. A relationship arises only when we have completed our conflict and due diligence checks and confirmed our engagement in writing.
6. Disclosure of personal data
We may disclose personal data to:
- Courts, tribunals and registries in the conduct of your matter
- Counsel, agents, experts, process servers, interpreters and other professionals instructed on your matter
- Other law firms and parties, where necessary to progress your matter
- Government agencies and regulators where required by law
- Banks, insurers and financial institutions, where relevant to your matter
- Our service providers, including IT, document storage, accounting and practice management providers, who are bound to protect the data
We do not sell personal data.
7. Transfers outside Singapore
Where personal data is transferred outside Singapore, including where our service providers host data overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient is bound by legally enforceable obligations to provide a standard of protection comparable to that under the PDPA.
8. Consent and withdrawal of consent
By providing personal data to us, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of that data for the purposes set out above. Where you provide personal data about another individual, you confirm that you are authorised to do so.
You may withdraw consent at any time by giving reasonable written notice to our Data Protection Officer. Please note that withdrawing consent may prevent us from continuing to act for you, and does not affect our ability to retain and use personal data where we are required or permitted to do so by law.
9. Access and correction
You may request access to personal data about you in our possession or control, and information about how it has been used or disclosed in the past year. You may also request correction of any error or omission.
Requests should be made in writing to our Data Protection Officer. We may charge a reasonable fee for access requests and will inform you of the fee before proceeding. We may decline a request where an exception under the PDPA applies, including where the data is subject to legal privilege or where disclosure would reveal confidential information about another person.
10. Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and thereafter for so long as we are required to retain it to meet our legal, regulatory and professional obligations, including the file retention requirements applicable to Singapore law practices.
11. Protection of personal data
We make reasonable security arrangements to protect personal data in our possession or control against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks. These include access controls, secure storage and staff confidentiality obligations. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information sent to us electronically.
12. Accuracy
We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal data we collect is accurate and complete. Please inform us promptly of any change to your particulars.
