Compliance

Reform Offshore and Reform Offshore Consultancy (“we”) are committed to the highest standards of privacy and data protection compliance. We are bound by the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore (‘PDPA’) and Data Protection Act 2018 of the UK (‘GDPR’) and the regulations enacted under it (as may be amended from time to time). We act in accordance with the PDPA and this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy sets out how and why we collect, store, use, transfer and disclose your personal information and how you may access your personal information and correct it offline and also on our website WWW.REFORMOFFSHORE.COM (our “site”).

For the purposes of the PDPA the relevant legal entity is Reform Offshore and our nominated Data Protection Officer is David Gunter who can be reached at admin@reformoffshore.com (please include “PDPA” in the email subject).

Collection, use and disclosure of personal data

Collection of general information

Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. We collect non-personally identifying information to better understand how our visitors use our site. The information collected will also help us troubleshoot problems, analyse our resources and improve our services and/or products. There is nothing in that kind of information that could enable anyone to identify who you are.

We also collect potentially personal information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users. We only disclose logged in user IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personal information as described below in this Privacy Policy.

  • personal data about you that is in our possession or under our control; and
  • information about the ways in which the personal data referred to in paragraph (a) has been or may have been used or disclosed by us during the year preceding the date of the request.

However, we reserve the right not to provide you with your personal data or other related information if providing it could reasonably be expected to:

  • threaten the safety or physical or mental health of another individual;
  • cause immediate or grave harm to your safety, physical or mental health;
  • reveal personal data about another individual;
  • reveal the identity of an individual who has provided personal data about another individual and the individual providing the personal data does not consent to the disclosure of his identity; or

If you wish to access the personal information we hold about you, you should contact us on admin@reformoffshore.com and we will respond to your request within a reasonable period after the request is made. If we deny you access, we will provide our reason for doing so at the time of your request.

While we do not charge a fee for a request for accessing your personal information, we may charge a reasonable fee (which will be notified to you once you make a request) for time and cost in the following circumstances:

  • if an extended amount of time is required to collate and prepare material for you; and

We will process any requested changes as soon as practicable and send the corrected personal data to every other organisation to which the personal data was disclosed during the year preceding the date of the correction, unless that other organisation no longer needs the corrected personal data for any legal or business purpose or you otherwise agree that we do not need to resend the corrected information to any other organisation.

Care of personal data

Accuracy

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, we also rely on you to advise us of any changes to your personal information.

Protection of personal data

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and to prevent unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks.

Although we aim to create a safe, secure environment by trying to limit access to the site to legitimate users, we cannot guarantee that unauthorised parties will not gain access. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we expressly exclude any liability arising from any unauthorised access to your personal information.

Please contact admin@reformoffshore.com immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account by anyone else or any other breach of security.

Retention of personal data

We will cease to retain its 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 the Purpose for which that personal data was collected is no longer being served by retention of the personal data, or retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes.

Transfer outside Singapore or UK

We will not transfer any personal data to a country or territory outside Singapore or UK except in accordance with the requirements prescribed under the PDPA to ensure that organisations provide a standard of protection to the personal data transferred that is comparable to the protection under the PDPA and this Privacy Policy.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies to help us identify you from other users, track your usage of our site, and your website access preferences.

We do or may use the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our site, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
  • Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our site. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
  • Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our site and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

Business transfer

If we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or in the event that we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge and agree that if such transfers occur, that any acquirer of our business may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Use of personal information for direct marketing

From time to time we may use the personal information we collect from you to identify particular services and/or products that we believe may be of interest to you. We may then contact you to let you know about these services and/or products, new features and how they may benefit you, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with us and our services and/or products.

Direct marketing from us generally takes the form of an electronic marketing email. Where we use your personal information to send you marketing information by email, SMS, MMS or other electronic means we may do so with your express or deemed consent. Every directly addressed marketing contact sent or made by us will include a means by which you may unsubscribe (or opt out) of receiving further marketing information. Additionally, you may instruct us at any time to remove any previous consent you provided to receive marketing communications from us. Contact admin@reformoffshore.com to make a request.
