Introduction to Personal Data

"Personal Data" is defined under the Applicable Data Protection Law to mean data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified from that data, or from that data and other information to which an organization has or is likely to have access. Common examples of personal data could include names, identification numbers, contact information, medical records, photographs and video images.

We will collect your personal data in accordance with the Applicable Data Protection Law. We will notify you of the purposes for which your personal data may be collected, used, disclosed and/or processed, as well as obtain your consent for the collection, use, disclosure and/or processing of your personal data for the intended purposes, unless an exception under the law permits us to collect and process your personal data without your consent.

Purposes for Collection, Use, Disclosure and Processing of Personal Data

The personal data which we collect from you may be collected, used, disclosed and/or processed for various purposes, depending on the circumstances for which we may need to process your personal data, including, but not limited to:

• underwriting, policy issuance or claims handling purposes;

• any other purposes which we notify you of at the time of obtaining your consent.

(collectively, the "Purposes").

As the purposes for which we may collect, use, disclose or process your personal data depend on the circumstances at hand, such purpose may not appear above. However, we will notify you of such other purpose at the time of obtaining your consent, unless processing of your personal data without your consent is permitted by the Applicable Data Protection Law or by law.

In order to conduct our business operations more smoothly, we may also disclose the personal data you have provided to us to our third party service providers, agents and/or our affiliates or related corporations, and/or other third parties whether sited in Singapore or outside of Singapore, for one or more of the above-stated Purposes. Such third party service providers, agents and/or affiliates or related corporations and/or other third parties would be processing your personal data either on our behalf or otherwise, for one or more of the above-stated Purposes.

Specific Issues For The Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

We respect the confidentiality of the personal data you have provided to us.

In that regard, we will not disclose your personal data to third parties without first obtaining your consent permitting us to do so. However, please note that we may disclose your personal data to third parties without first obtaining your consent in certain situations, including, without limitation, the following:

• cases in which the disclosure is required or authorized based on the applicable laws and/or regulations;
• cases in which the purpose of such disclosure is clearly in your interests, and if consent cannot be obtained in a timely way;
• cases in which the disclosure is necessary to respond to an emergency that threatens the life, health or safety of you or another individual;
• cases in which the disclosure is necessary for any investigation or proceedings;
• cases in which the personal data is disclosed to any officer of a prescribed law enforcement agency, upon production of written authorisation signed by the head or director of that law enforcement agency or a person of a similar rank, certifying that the personal data is necessary for the purposes of the functions or duties of the officer;
• cases in which the disclosure is to a public agency and such disclosure is necessary in the public interest; and/or
• where such disclosure without your consent is permitted by the Applicable Data Protection Law or by law.

The instances listed are not intended to be exhaustive. For more information on the exceptions, you are encouraged to peruse the First and Second Schedules of the Applicable Data Protection Law which are publicly available at http://sso.agc.gov.sg.

Where we disclose your personal data to third parties with your consent, we will employ our best efforts to require such third parties to protect your personal data.
