Privacy Policy

At D4L Data4Life Asia Limited (“Data4Life”) we respect the privacy and confidentiality of the personal data of our Clients, Associates and others whom we interact with in the course of providing our services. We are committed to implementing policies, practices and processes to safeguard the collection, use and disclosure of the personal data you provide us when visiting our website data4life-asia.care, in compliance with the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2012.

We have developed this Data Privacy Notice to assist you in understanding how we collect, use, disclose, process, protect and retain your personal data that is in our possession.

1. Contact Details and Data Protection Officer

The responsible party for processing your personal data is D4L Data4Life Asia Limited, 68 Circular Road #02-01, Singapore 049422.

You may contact our data protection officer if you have any enquiries or feedback on our personal data protection policies and procedures at dataprotection@data4life-asia.care or through our postal address by writing to the attention of “The data protection officer”.

2. How We Collect Your Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information that can uniquely identify an individual person on its own, or when combined with other information. Under the PDPA, business contact information (e.g. full name, business address, business telephone number) is not considered as personal data so long as it is used strictly for business-to-business (B2B) transactions. We collect your personal data when you:

  • Visit our website and leave behind your contact details
  • Communicate with us via email or written correspondence

3. Types of Personal Data We Collect About You

3.1 When visiting our website

When you visit the website data4life-asia.care, the following data is automatically transferred to the web server of Data4Life:

  • IP address of the device used for the retrieval
  • Web address (URL) of the page from which the file was requested (referrer)
  • Date and time of the request
  • Amount of data transmitted
  • Description of the type of web browser used

The processing of this data, which contains a (pseudonymized) personal reference via the IP address, is technically necessary and is carried out in order to provide you with the Data4Life offering.

To avert threats to the security of Data4Life’s infrastructure and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack, e.g. in a DDOS attack, the data mentioned above is generally stored in log files for a period of eight weeks. In the event of an attack, log data is retained for the purpose of preserving evidence until the respective incident has been resolved.

3.2 Support/Contact

When you contact us through one of our contact options, for example, email or post, we process the data you provide (for example your email address and the content of your enquiry) necessary for us to answer your question. If your enquiry contains optional personal data, e.g. your name, we will process that data in order to provide improved support.

We anonymize the data arising in this context after the storage is no longer necessary (usually four weeks after we fully answered your request), or restrict the processing if there are legal storage obligations. We systematically evaluate the number of contacts and the reasons for them, the processing time of inquiries and other key figures.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

We use the personal data you provide us for one or more of the following purposes:

  • Analyze your visits to our website
  • Communicate with website visitors and interested parties
  • Respond to your inquiries
  • Carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us
  • Comply with or fulfill legal obligations and regulatory requirements

5. Who We Disclose Your Personal Data To

We disclose some of the personal data you provide us to the following entities or organizations outside D4L Data4Life Asia Limited in order to fulfill our services to you:

For the purpose of providing the necessary server infrastructure to run our website and enabling faster loading speeds of our website we use the service IONOS Deploy Now from IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany.

For the purpose of facilitating email communication for general requests and communication through the email address we@data4life-asia.care, Data4Life uses Google Workspace provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google processes your contact information, for example, email address and the content of your email. Google stores your personal data on servers based in the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we cannot exclude that Google accesses and therefore transfers your personal data to the United States.

We may also share your personal data within the Data4Life company for internal reasons, primarily for business and operational purposes, such as troubleshooting and analysis of visitor behavior, with D4L data4life gGmbH, c/o Digital Health Center (DHC) im Hasso-Plattner-Institut (HPI), Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße 187, 14482 Potsdam, Germany.

In all of the above mentioned cases, D4L Data4Life Asia Limited remains responsible for the processing of personal data.

Where required to do so by law, we may disclose personal data about you to the relevant authorities or to law enforcement agencies.

6. How We Manage the Collection, Use and Disclosure of Your Personal Data

6.1 Obtaining Consent

Before we collect, use or disclose your personal data, we will notify you of the purpose why we are doing so. We will obtain written confirmation from you on your expressed consent. We will not collect more personal data than is necessary for the stated purpose. We will seek fresh consent from you if the original purpose for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal data has changed.

Under certain circumstances, we may assume deemed consent from you when you voluntarily provide your personal data for the stated purpose, e.g. when you communicate with us through email.

We may rely on exceptions to the need for consent under the PDPA for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal data under the following circumstances:

  • The personal data is publicly available
  • The personal data is disclosed by a public agency or disclosed to a public agency
  • The personal data is necessary for any investigation or proceedings
  • The personal data is necessary for evaluative purposes (e.g. determining the suitability of a job applicant for the job applied for)

  • The personal data is necessary for a business asset transaction

6.2 Withdrawal of Consent

If you wish to withdraw consent, you should give us reasonable advance notice. We will advise you of the likely consequences of your withdrawal of consent, e.g. without your personal contact information we may not be able to inform you of future services offered by us.

Your request for withdrawal of consent can take the form of an email or letter to us.
