Children’s Cancer Foundation (“CCF”) is committed to respecting and protecting your personal data. This Personal Data Protection Policy (“PDP Policy”) sets out the basis upon which CCF collects, uses, discloses, stores and processes personal data in Singapore in compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (“PDPA”).
Collection, Use and Disclosure
Subject to the PDPA, CCF will obtain consent before collecting, using and disclosing your personal data and notify you of such purposes. In doing so, CCF shall make a reasonable effort to ensure your personal data collected is accurate and complete.
The purposes for which CCF collects, uses and discloses your personal data includes but is not limited to: verifying your identity; sending you CCF materials such as CCF announcements, CCF newsletters, materials in relation to CCF fundraising events and Seasons Greetings electronic direct mailers; providing services to the beneficiaries; liaising with the relevant vendors, suppliers, third party organisations; processing donations to claim tax deductions from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS); managing or terminating the employment relationship; assessing the suitability and eligibility of a prospective job candidate or a volunteer; processing and responding to inquiries and/or feedback; for research purposes; for service improvement; complying with a court order or other legal process or other statutory and/or regulatory requirements of any governmental and/or regulatory authorities; and any other purpose permitted by the applicable laws of Singapore.
CCF will not collect, use or disclose your NRIC number or other national identification numbers (including FIN, Birth Certificates number, Passport number and Work Permit number) unless such collection, use or disclosure is required under the law (or an exception under the PDPA applies); or such collection, use or disclosure is necessary to accurately establish or verify your identity to a high degree of fidelity.
CCF may also collect, use or disclose the personal data that you knowingly and voluntarily provide, such as when you register to participate in CCF-related programmes, activities and events, or when you submit employment, and volunteer applications, etc. The additional personal data that CCF collects depends on the nature of the activity. If you are unable to provide your consent, we will not be able to provide the intended services or information you are requesting for (if any).
CCF may also collect, use, and disclose personal data without consent pursuant to an exception where:
- Required or permitted by laws or regulations or under the exception of PDPA
- The collection is necessary to respond to an emergency that threatens the life, health or safety of the individual or another individual
