Personal Data Protection Policy

Introduction
  1. Godwin Campos LLC (“GCLLC”) recognises the importance of safeguarding your personal data, and therefore undertakes to fully implement and comply with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (the “Act”). GCLLC’s Personal Data Protection Policy set out here explains the procedures and systems we have put in place to comply with the Act (the “Policy”). For the purposes of the Policy, ‘client’ includes any prospective clients.

  2. Your engagement or continued engagement of GCLLC’s services upon having been notified of this Policy shall be deemed as consent to the provisions of this Policy.

  3. The Act imposes restrictions on GCLLC’s actions in processing personal data. “Processing” includes any recording, holding, organisation, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, combination, transmission, erasure or destruction of personal data carried out by GCLLC. Other definitions included in the Act may be found online at http://www.pdpc.gov.sg.
  1. GCLLC has appointed a Data Protection Officer (the “DPO”) to deal with day‑to‑day data protection matters and complaints, and to encourage good data handling practices within the firm. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the DPO at the following:

    DPO: Ms Kathy Gomez
    Email address of DPO: kathy@godwincampos.com.sg
    Telephone no: +65 6535 1306
  1. Personal data is data about an individual which can be used, on its own or with other information to which GCLLC has or is likely to have access, to identify the individual. Personal data does not include business contact information, business title, or information about an individual that is publicly available. For the purposes of the provision of GCLLC’s services, personal data collected by GCLLC would generally include without limitation a client’s and/or client representative’s name, address, telephone number, personal email address, identification numbers or details, photographs or video, financial and tax information and bank account numbers.
  1. The personal data that GCLLC may collect about you includes, but is not limited to:

    Personal information, such as your name, date of birth, gender, CPF number, NRIC/passport/identification numbers, marital status;
    Billing and banking information; and
    an individual’s criminal record history and any proceedings or sentences imposed for any offence committed or alleged to be committed by the individual.
  1. GCLLC receives or collects your personal data for reasonable purposes in carrying out its role as a legal services provider. These purposes include:

    the provision of legal services, advice and representation;
    communication with clients and other parties;
    security purposes;
    compliance with all legal, regulatory, and tax requirements;
    disclosure to third parties for the reasons outlined at paragraph 9 below.

  1. GCLLC undertakes not to use your personal data for any purpose other than that for which it was collected or in accordance with the Act. Should we require any personal data in our possession to be used for a purpose other than those for which consent was originally given, fresh consent will be sought in order to use the data for that new purpose.
  1. In the course of processing personal data for the above purposes, GCLLC may disclose individuals’ personal data to third parties within or outside Singapore. This includes:

    Governmental organisations or authorities to whom GCLLC is required by law to disclose the data, e.g. for tax purposes;
    Third parties who provide GCLLC with data processing, administration, health, insurance or legal services, or other professional or management services; and
    Anyone to whom GCLLC are otherwise required to disclose it to, including but not limited to individuals seeking access to their own personal data.

  1. Such disclosure to third parties outside Singapore shall only be to organisations who are required or agree to process the data with a comparable level of data protection as that required under Singapore law.
  1. Subject to statutory exceptions, you may make written requests to the DPO to access or correct some or all of your personal data in GCLLC’s possession or under its control. You may also make a written request to the DPO for  information on the ways in which your personal data has been used or disclosed by GCLLC within 12 months prior to your request. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, or wish to access or correct your personal data, please contact our DPO as provided at paragraph 4 above.

  2. GCLLC endeavours to take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data in its possession is accurate, up-to-date, and complete. If any personal data you have provided to GCLLC becomes inaccurate, please contact our Data Protection Officer as set out at paragraph 4 above to update your data.

  3. GCLLC may charge a reasonable fee in order to process any requests for access to information. Please note that certain types of information are exempt from general right of access, and may not be disclosed.
  1. GCLLC will retain personal data for as long as it is necessary to serve the purpose for which it has been collected, and/or to comply with legal requirements.
  1. GCLLC endeavours to maintain all personal data in its possession securely. To this effect, GCLLC has put in place systems to ensure the protection and security of data in its possession.
  1. If you feel that your data has been erroneously or improperly handled by GCLLC, you may lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Officer (“DPO”), whose contact details are provided at paragraph 4 above.

  2. The results of the DPO’s investigation will be communicated to you. If the complaint has been upheld, you will be informed of the next steps to be taken to resolve the situation.
  1. You may withdraw your consent for processing of your data by GCLLC. However, in some cases, consent to the processing of data may not be withdrawn, such as where it is necessary for the administration of GCLLC’s relationship with its clients.
  1. This Policy may be updated from time to time to take account of changes in technology, GCLLC practice or policy, and/or to ensure compliance with any legislative changes. The Policy may be viewed at any time on our website (https://godwincampos.com.sg/)
