7. Legal Basis for Processing

Consent: Unless the applicable laws or regulations allow otherwise, we will obtain express written consent from you for the Processing of your Personal Data by methods or means such as making you sign a form or check a box. When you do so, you represent that you are over 16 years of age and can give valid consent. Where you provide information to us about any individual other than yourself (eg, an employee or child), you represent that you have valid authority and consent to do so and you must ensure that the other individual(s) consent to this Policy and understand how their information will be used. You can withdraw such consent at any time by contacting our data protection officer at the contact details set out in this Policy.

 

Depending on the extent to which you withdraw consent, such withdrawal of consent may result in our inability to provide the relevant services to you and may be considered as a termination by you of any agreement between CAG and you. CAG’s legal rights and remedies are expressly reserved in such an event.

 

Minors: If an individual under 16 years of age has provided us with Personal Data without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us at the contact details set out in this Policy to remove the relevant Personal Data. If we become aware that Personal Data has been collected from an individual under the age of 16 without parental or guardian consent, we will delete this Personal Data and any account that the individual may have with us.

 

Legitimate Interest: Your Personal Data may be processed for legitimate interests to facilitate your journey through various airport touchpoints. Where required under applicable laws, we have performed legitimate interest assessments to ensure that your rights are not overridden by our interests.

 

8. Links to third-party websites

We may provide links to third-party websites on the Platforms. Your use of such third-party websites will be subject to their privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies on the other websites you visit. Once you have left the Platforms, you should check the applicable privacy policy of such third parties at their respective websites to determine how they will Process any information they collect from you. As we cannot control or be responsible for the policies of other websites we may link to, or the use of any data you may share with them, you access these third-party websites at your own risk.

 

9. Keeping your Personal Data secure

We have put in place reasonable technical and procedural measures to safeguard your Personal Data, for example, by:

  • Ensuring that access to any personal account you have with us is controlled by a password and username which are unique to you;
  • Storing your Personal Data on secured servers; and
  • Restricting access to Personal Data on a ‘need to know’ basis.

Please note that the use of the Internet and/or the Platforms cannot be made entirely secure and we therefore are unable to guarantee the security or integrity of any Personal Data which is transferred from you or to you via the Platforms. You undertake to bear the risks of any transfer.

 

10. Personal Data – Access and Correction

The accuracy of our data collection begins with you – you undertake that you will provide accurate and complete Personal Data, and update such Personal Data with us from time to time. Before providing your Personal Data to us, you should carefully check that the information that you have provided us is complete and accurate.

 

You may request access to and/or correction of your Personal Data held by us by contacting us at the contact details set out in this Policy. All requests for access and/or correction will be processed within a reasonable time except where we refuse such requests in accordance with any applicable laws or regulations. In some situations, you may be able to access and correct your Personal Data directly through the Platforms.  For requests other than through self-service functions on the Platforms, we may need to verify your identity before proceeding with your request. For verification purposes, we may require you to provide supporting information or documentation.

 

For all requests other than through self-service functions on the Platforms, we may charge you a reasonable fee for the handling and processing of your request.

 

11. Further rights of data subjects in the European Union ("EU")

CAG is a company incorporated in Singapore. We do not have an establishment in the EU.

 

However, if you are a data subject in the EU, and you believe that the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) (“GDPR”) applies to the Personal Data you have provided us, you may contact us if you wish to exercise the following further rights:

  • Request for the erasure of your Personal Data;
  • Request for the restriction of processing of your Personal Data;
  • Object to the processing of your Personal Data; and/or

We may ask to verify your identity and claim before proceeding with your request.

All requests made to us in exercising the rights above will be processed within a reasonable time except where we refuse such requests in accordance with any applicable laws or regulations.

 

12. Data retention

We will cease to retain your Personal Data when the purposes for which we collected your Personal Data have ceased and/or when we are no longer required to continue retaining your Personal Data for any legal or business purposes.

 

13. Unsolicited information

Where you have provided us with unsolicited Personal Data, for example in unsolicited emails or public posts on message boards, you will be regarded as having given CAG consent to use the unsolicited Personal Data as we see fit, on a non-confidential basis, and CAG shall be free to use, disclose, distribute and exploit such unsolicited Personal Data without limitation or attribution. CAG will strive to take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify unsolicited Personal Data that CAG has no purpose for, but it cannot guarantee that all unsolicited Personal Data will be disposed of given system and operational limitations. You bear responsibility for not providing CAG with Personal Data beyond what we have requested from you, should you not consent to how we intend to treat unsolicited Personal Data provided by yourself.

 

14. Changes to this Policy
