We respect the privacy of everyone who visits this website. As a result we would like to inform you regarding the way we would use your personal data. We recommend you to read this privacy policy so that you understand our approach towards the use of your personal data.

By submitting your personal data to us, you will be treated as having given your permission – where necessary and appropriate – for disclosures referred to in this policy.

What does this privacy policy cover?

This privacy policy is to inform you regarding the use of your personal information which is collected during your visit to one of our websites.

This privacy policy applies to the majority of our websites, however there may be occasions where there is a need to have a slightly different privacy policy. Whenever a website has a different privacy policy it will be made clear that that privacy policy differs from this general privacy policy. On your journey around the websites please check the privacy policy of each website which you visit and do not assume that this privacy policy applies to all websites.

Special Notice – if you are under 13 years old

Our website is not aimed at children under 13 years old and we will not collect, use, provide or process in any other form any personal information of children under the age of 13 deliberately.

We therefore also ask you, if you are under 13 years old, please do not send us your personal information (for example, your name, address and email address). If you are under 13 years old and you nevertheless wish to ask a question or use this website in anyway which requires you to submit your personal information please get your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf.

Purposes of the collection of your data

One of the purposes of our website is to inform you of who we are and what we do. We collect and use personal information (including name, address, telephone number and email) to better provide you with the required services, or information. We would therefore use your personal information in order to:

1. respond to queries or requests submitted by you
2. process orders or applications submitted by you
3. administer or otherwise carry out our obligations in relation to any agreement you have with us
4. anticipate and resolve problems with any goods or services supplied to you
5. create products or services that may meet your needs.

To optimise our services we may wish to use your personal data for direct marketing. As we respect your privacy we will only use your personal data for this purpose when you are aware thereof and if required we will request your consent prior to using your personal data for direct marketing.

Additionally, if at any time you wish us to stop using your information for any or all of the above purposes, please contact us as set out below. We will stop the use of your information for such purposes as soon as it is reasonably possible to do so.

In addition, the collected personal data will (occasionally) be transferred to selected third parties, which may be located outside of Singapore as part of the services offered to you through our site. By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of Singapore or one of our service providers is located in a country outside of Singapore.

These third parties will not use your personal information for any other purposes than what we have agreed with them. The Great Room requests those third parties to implement adequate levels of protection in order to safeguard your personal information.

We respect your personal information and therefore, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected if we transfer your information outside of Singapore in this way. In addition, if you use our services while you are outside Singapore, your information may be transferred outside Singapore in order to provide you with those services.

Except as set out in this privacy policy, we will not disclose any personally identifiable information without your permission unless we are legally entitled or required to do so (for example, if required to do so by legal process or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime) or if we believe that such action is necessary to protect and/or defend our rights, property or personal safety and those of our users/customers or other individuals.

Please be assured that we will not use your information for any of the purposes if you have indicated that you do not wish us to use your information in this way when submitting the information or at a later stage.

We may from time to time supply third parties with this non-personal or aggregated data for uses in connection with this website.
