Dear RIMAS Members, 

 

If you need clarifications on personal data protection, RIMAS' updated PDPA policy is appended as follows: 

 

 

(A) Personal Data Protection Policy

 

Risk and Insurance Management Association of Singapore (RIMAS) recognises its obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) which includes the collection, use and disclosure of personal data for the purpose for which an individual has given consent to.

 

The personal data collected by RIMAS includes all personal data provided in our forms, or in any document provided, or to be provided to us by you, for the purpose of your requests or enquiries. It includes all personal data for us to evaluate or administer the request(s). In addition to the personal data provided in the forms, the personal data will also include any subsequent information we collect that is necessary for us to administer the request.

 

(B) Purposes for the Collection, Use and Disclosure of Your Personal Data

 

Generally, we may collect, use, disclose and/ or retain your Personal Data for the following purposes:

 

• to manage your RIMAS membership including recruitment, processing and termination of your membership;

• to provide you with membership benefits and services;

• to assist you with your enquiries;

• to process payment for your RIMAS membership or any other purchases and subscriptions;

• to improve membership services, such as resolving complaints and handling requests and enquiries;

• conduct research, survey, interviews and statistical analysis;

• to comply with applicable laws and regulations; and

• to keep you updated on our events, products or services.

We do not sell, rent or disclose any email or personal information we keep about you to any third parties. We may share the information with our co-organisers whom we engage to provide risk management seminars and workshops.

 

(D) Withdrawing Consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Data

 

You may refuse or withdraw your consent for us to collect, use or disclose your personal data by giving us reasonable notice.

 

Please note that if you withdraw your consent to any or all use or disclosure of your Personal Data, depending on the nature of your request, we may no longer be in a position to continue to provide membership benefits and services to you.

 

Such a withdrawal may therefore result in the termination of any membership that you may have with us.
