01Who we are and the scope of this policy

Lee Kim Alliance Pte. Ltd. (“we”, “us” or “our”) is a company incorporated in Singapore. We provide corporate, accounting, tax and immigration-related advisory and support services.

This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise handle personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore (PDPA). This policy covers personal data that we collect in providing our services and through our website (leekim.com). It applies to the following individuals:

• clients who are individuals, and individuals who contact us on behalf of our clients;
• officers, directors, shareholders, beneficial owners and other representatives of our client companies;
• visitors to our website; and
• job applicants.

This policy does not apply to business contact information, except where the PDPA provides otherwise.

02Personal data we collect

Depending on the services you use or your relationship with us, we may collect the following categories of personal data:

• Identity and contact details: name, nationality, date of birth, residential or correspondence address, email address and telephone number.
• Identity documents: copies of passports, national identity cards or other identification documents, where required by law or where it is necessary to establish identity to a high degree of accuracy.

• Communications: records of enquiries, correspondence and instructions you send to us.
• Website information: your name, email address, telephone number and enquiry details submitted through our enquiry board, live chat (Channel Talk) or email, and the cookie and access data described in section 9.

We collect personal data directly from you, from the client company or person who engages us, or from public sources such as official registries, where permitted by law.

03Purposes for which we use personal data

We collect, use and disclose personal data only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances and that we have notified to you. These purposes include:

• company incorporation, corporate secretarial and other company maintenance services;
• accounting services and the preparation and filing of tax returns and related submissions;
• preparing and submitting visa, work pass and permanent residence applications that you ask us to handle;
• carrying out know-your-customer (KYC) checks and customer due diligence (CDD), and meeting our anti-money laundering (AML) and other legal and regulatory obligations;
• responding to your enquiries and managing our relationship with you;
• assessing job applications;
• operating our website, analysing visit statistics and improving our services;
• sending you information about our services, with your consent, or as otherwise permitted under the PDPA; and
• other purposes that are directly related to the above, or that are permitted or required under the PDPA or other applicable laws.

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, we will notify you and, where required, obtain your consent before doing so.

04Disclosure of personal data

We disclose personal data only where it is necessary for the purposes described above, where you have consented, or where disclosure is required or permitted by law. Recipients may include:

• government agencies and statutory bodies, such as the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), when we make filings or applications on your behalf or on behalf of our clients;
• banks and other financial institutions, as instructed by you or our client;
• service providers that process personal data on our behalf as data intermediaries, such as providers of cloud, IT, document management, website analytics and live chat services, which are required to protect personal data and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed;
• our group companies, where necessary to provide the services you have requested; and
• professional advisers, auditors, courts and law enforcement or regulatory authorities, where required or permitted by law.

05Transfers outside Singapore

Some of our service providers and group companies may store or process personal data outside Singapore. Where we transfer personal data outside Singapore, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the recipient is bound by legally enforceable obligations to provide a standard of protection comparable to the PDPA, as required by section 26 of the PDPA.

06Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet our legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting requirements. When personal data is no longer needed for those purposes, we will cease to retain it or remove the means by which it can be associated with you.

07How we protect personal data

We make reasonable security arrangements to protect personal data in our possession or under our control against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal, and against the loss of any storage medium or device on which it is stored. We protect personal data using administrative, technical and physical measures appropriate to its sensitivity, such as access restrictions, authentication controls and staff awareness, and we review these measures periodically.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If you believe that your personal data held by us has been compromised, please contact our Data Protection Officer.

08Your rights

Under the PDPA, you may:

• request access to your personal data that is in our possession or under our control, and information about the ways in which it has been used or disclosed within the year before your request;
• request correction of an error or omission in your personal data; and
• withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal data for any purpose, on giving reasonable notice.

How to make a request. Please send your request in writing to our Data Protection Officer using the contact details in section 13. Tell us which personal data or which purpose your request relates to.

Verifying your identity. Before we act on a request, we will take reasonable steps to verify that the request comes from you or from a person authorised to act for you, for example by confirming the request through the contact details we already hold for you. When verifying your identity for a request, we will not ask you to use your NRIC number as a means of authentication.

Our response. We will respond to access and correction requests as soon as reasonably possible and within the timeframes required under the PDPA and its regulations. If we are unable to respond within the required timeframe, we will tell you in writing when we expect to respond. We may charge a reasonable fee for an access request; if so, we will tell you the estimated fee before we process the request. We do not charge a fee for correction requests. In some cases permitted by the PDPA, we may decline a request or withhold certain information, and we will tell you if we do so.

Withdrawal of consent. When you withdraw your consent, we will tell you about the likely consequences, which may include that we can no longer provide some or all of our services to you. We will then stop collecting, using or disclosing your personal data for the purposes concerned, unless the PDPA or other laws permit or require us to continue.

09Cookies and analytics

Our website uses cookies and the tools listed below for visit statistics, navigation analysis, live chat and displaying content. Each tool handles information under its provider’s privacy policy, and some providers process information outside Singapore.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some features such as live chat may not work properly. If you do not want Google Analytics to collect data, you can use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Like most websites, our web hosting may record standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and operational purposes.

Using our enquiry board. Posts you write publicly on our enquiry board can be seen by other visitors. If your question includes personal data, such as your name, contact details or company information, please mark it as a private post. Private posts can be seen only by you and our staff. Information you submit through live chat or the enquiry board is handled under this policy.

10Marketing and the Do Not Call Registry

We send marketing communications only with your consent, or as otherwise permitted under the PDPA. You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe option in the message or by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

Before we send marketing messages by voice call, text message or fax to a Singapore telephone number, we check the relevant Do Not Call Register as required under Part 9 of the PDPA, unless an exception under the PDPA applies, for example where you have given us clear and unambiguous consent to receive such messages.

11Data breaches

If we have reason to believe that a data breach affecting personal data has occurred, we will assess it in a reasonable and expeditious manner. Where a breach is notifiable under Part 6A of the PDPA, we will notify the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) and, where required, the affected individuals, within the timeframes required by law.

12Enquiries and complaints

If you have a question or complaint about how we handle your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer. We will acknowledge your enquiry or complaint and respond to it as soon as reasonably possible. On request, we will provide information about our data protection policies and practices, including how we handle complaints.
