This Personal Data Protection Policy documents our adherence to industry standards for the protection of your Personal Data. Please take a moment to read this Personal Data Protection Policy so that you know and understand the purposes for which we collect, use and disclose your Personal Data.
This policy supplements but does not supersede nor replace any consents you may have previously provided to us in respect of your Personal Data, and your consents herein are additional to any rights which any of us may have at law to collect, use and/or disclose your Personal Data.
References to “we,” “our,” or “us” herein refer to Busy Bees Southeast Asia (formerly known as Knowledge Universe), its subsidiaries and affiliates, business partners, associates, agents and/or employees.
This policy covers our treatment of Personal Data that is collected in the course of your interaction with us and while you are on our site. For the purposes of this policy, “Personal Data” refers to any data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified (i) from that data, or (ii) 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 Personal Data (depending on the nature of your interaction with us) include unique identifiers (eg. NRIC or FIN number, passport number) as well as any set of data (eg. telephone number(s), mailing address, photo or video images) which when taken together would be able to identify the individual. Such information may be provided to us by you in any forms submitted to us or via other forms of interaction with us.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies not owned or controlled by us or to people whom we do not employ or manage, nor does it address non-personally identifiable information. This policy does not apply to information collected at a web site of an affiliated company or business line that may be linked to this web site; in those cases, the privacy policy provided at that web site will apply.
This policy specifically addresses the following matters:
Generally, we may collect Personal Data from you or your child/ward in the following ways:
You should ensure that all Personal Data submitted to us is complete, accurate, true and up-to-date.
First, we collect anonymous, aggregate information from all visitors to our site. This information is never linked to any personally identifiable information and is used in the aggregate to generate statistical reports about the use of our site. In addition, we use a third-party service provider to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet and on our site. That provider may collect anonymous information about your visits to our site and your interaction with our products and services. That provider may also use information about your visits to our and other sites to target advertisements for goods and services. This anonymous information is collected through the use of a pixel tag, which is industry standard technology used by most major websites. If you would like more information about this practice and your choices about not having this anonymous information used by our third-party service provider, please link to www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp.
We may use, disclose or process Personal Data about you collected before 2 July 2014 for the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected unless consent for such use is withdrawn in accordance with applicable law or if you have otherwise indicated to us, whether before, on or after 2 July 2014, that you do not consent to the use of such Personal Data.
Depending on your relationship with us, the Personal Data which we collect from you or your child/ward may be collected, use and/or disclosed for the following purposes:
If you have provided us your Singapore telephone number(s) and/or email address and have indicated that you consent to receiving marketing or promotional information via your Singapore telephone number(s) and/or email address, then from time to time, we may contact you using such Singapore telephone number(s) (including via voice calls, text, fax or other means) and/or email address with information about our services and schools/centres.
We will take reasonable steps to protect your or your child’s/ward’s Personal Data against unauthorized disclosure. We may disclose your or your child’s/ward’s Personal Data to third parties without first obtaining your consent in certain situations, for example:
The instances listed above are not exhaustive. In all other instances of disclosure of your Personal Data to third parties with your express consent, we will provide for adequate forms of protection over such Personal Data, and confidentiality and security in the handling and administration of your Personal Data by such third parties in compliance with applicable law.
We have designed our site for parents and adults, not for children. For that reason, we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children who may visit our site, and we do not want to include any such information in our customer databases. We recommend that parents monitor their children’s use of the Internet.
Wherever your Personal Data is in our possession or under our control, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks. We shall also take reasonable and appropriate measures to keep your Personal Data accurate, complete and updated.
We use encryption to protect sensitive information online. The servers that store your Personal Data are housed in a secure environment. We also make an effort to protect your information off-line. However, given the nature of the Internet and the fact that network security measures are not infallible, we cannot assume responsibility for any unauthorized use of your Personal Data by third parties which are wholly attributable to factors beyond our control.
If we ever require you to register with us before being able to access a specific section of our site, we may ask you to select a username and password. We recommend that you do not divulge or share that information with anyone. We will never ask you for that information in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also, remember to sign out of the registered site and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your Personal Data and correspondence when accessing your computer.
We shall take reasonable effort to destroy or anonymize 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:
You may at any time withdraw any consent already given, or deemed to have been given under applicable law, in respect of the collection, use or disclosure by us of Personal Data about you for any purpose on giving reasonable notice to us. We do not prohibit an individual from withdrawing consent to the collection, use or disclosure of Personal Data about the individual, but this shall not affect any legal consequences arising from such withdrawal.
If you withdraw your consent to any or all use of your Personal Data, depending on the nature of your request, we may not be in a position to continue to provide our services to you, administer any contractual relationship in place, which in turn may also result in the termination of your agreements with us. Our legal rights and remedies in such event are expressly reserved.
If your Personal Data changes, you may contact us to correct, update, delete or deactivate our record of your Personal Data. We will send the corrected Personal Data to every other organization to which the Personal Data was disclosed by us within a year before the date the correction was made, unless that other organization does not need the corrected Personal Data for any legal or business purpose, or if you so consent, only to specific organizations to which the Personal Data was disclosed by us within a year before the date the correction was made.
