We hold personal information which we collect in both physical and electronic storage facilities including paper-based files, computer servers, desktop and laptop computers, tablets, mobile phones, cameras and other portable data storage devices.
We protect personal information which we hold from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure using both physical and electronic security measures which include secure premises, physical access restrictions, locked cabinets, video surveillance, secure databases, password access, anti-virus software, data encryption and firewalls. These measures are subject to ongoing review and monitoring. To protect your personal data, we also require our third party service providers to take reasonable precautions to keep your personal data confidential and to prevent unauthorised or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use of personal data, and to act at all times in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
If we hold any personal information which we no longer need for any of our purposes then we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify the information unless we are required by law to retain the information.
Please note, however, that while we attempt to safeguard your personal data, no method of transmitting or storing electronic information is ever completely secure, and thus we make no warranty, express, implied, or otherwise, that your personal data will never be accessed, used or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
In no event shall we be liable for any damages (whether consequential, direct, incidental, indirect, punitive, special or otherwise) arising out of, or in any way connected with, a third party’s unauthorised access to your personal data, regardless of whether such damages are based on contract, strict liability, and also regardless of whether such damages are based on contract, strict liability, tort or other theories of liability, and also regardless of whether we are given actual or constructive notice that damages were possible, except as provided under applicable laws.

The Growth Faculty Pty Limited (ABN 22 104 682 644) (“we”, “us” or “our”) recognises the importance of privacy and is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals when handling their personal information. We handle personal information for purposes relating to our business functions and activities.
Our Privacy Policy outlines how we handle personal information in an open and transparent manner in accordance with the nine main obligations contained in the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (the “PDPA”) and in similar overseas legislation. By providing us with your personal information you consent to us handling it in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you provide us with any personal information about another individual then we rely upon you to inform him or her of the details contained in our Privacy Policy.
Broadly speaking, the nine main obligations which organisations are required to comply with if they undertake activities relating to the collection, use or disclosure of personal data may be summarised as follows. The sections of the PDPA which set out these obligations are noted below for reference.
i) The Consent Obligation (PDPA sections 13 to 17): An organisation must obtain the consent of the individual before collecting, using or disclosing his personal data for a purpose.
ii) The Purpose Limitation Obligation (PDPA section 18): An organisation may collect, use or disclose personal data about an individual only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances and, if applicable, have been notified to the individual concerned.
iii) The Notification Obligation (PDPA section 20): An organisation must notify the individual of the purpose(s) for which it intends to collect, use or disclose the individual’s personal data on or before such collection, use or disclosure of the personal data.
iv) The Access and Correction Obligations (PDPA sections 21 and 22): An organisation must, upon request, (i) provide an individual with his or her personal data in the possession or under the control of the organisation and information about the ways in which the personal data may have been used or disclosed during the past year; and (ii) correct an error or omission in an individual’s personal data that is in the possession or under the control of the organisation.
v) The Accuracy Obligation (PDPA section 23): An organisation must make a reasonable effort to ensure that personal data collected by or on behalf of the organisation is accurate and complete if the personal data is likely to be used by the organisation to make a decision that affects the individual concerned or disclosed by the organisation to another organisation.
vi) The Protection Obligation (PDPA section 24): An organisation must protect personal data in its possession or under its control by making reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks.
vii) The Retention Limitation Obligation (PDPA section 25): An organisation must cease to retain documents containing personal data, or remove the means by which the personal data can be associated with particular individuals as soon as it is reasonable to assume that (i) the purpose for which the personal data was collected is no longer being served by retention of the personal data, and (ii) retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes.
viii) The Transfer Limitation Obligation (PDPA section 26): An organisation must not transfer personal data to a country or territory outside Singapore except in accordance with the requirements prescribed under the PDPA.
ix) The Accountability Obligation (PDPA sections 11 and 12): An organisation must implement the necessary policies and procedures in order to meet its obligations under the PDPA and shall make information about its policies and procedures publicly available.
This Privacy Policy adopts defined terms from our Terms and Conditions available on our Website and should be read in conjunction with that document.
If we hold any personal information which we no longer need for any of our legal or business purposes then we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify the information unless we are required by law to retain the information. In any event, we do not retain your personal data for longer than six (6) years, subject to local laws and regulations.
Should you wish to withdraw your consent previously given, you may send us a request for the withdrawal of consent to The Privacy Officer. Please note that we can only process requests that are clear and may need to contact you for clarification if such requests are deemed to be incomplete or unclear in any way.
You have the right to access, update or request that we delete your personal information at any time. If you wish to exercise your rights, or if you have other questions, comments or concerns about our privacy and data protection practices, please contact The Privacy Officer.
We will keep all personal data collected as accurate, complete and up-to-date as necessary, taking into account its intended use and your interests. Where possible, we will validate the personal data provided by using generally accepted practices and guidelines.
Your personal data will be transferred to, and stored in Singapore. It will also be accessed and processed by our personnel and the personnel of our affiliated companies, subsidiaries, partners, and/or third party service providers, who operate outside of Singapore. Your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside of Singapore where we are satisfied that adequate or comparable levels of protection are in place to protect personal data held in that jurisdiction, and (where we are required to do so) with your consent.
