physical address, country, phone number, photograph, credit card or other method of
payment information, or any other personal information you choose to provide.

we collect through our Services. For example, if you choose to link, create, or log in to your
MBAbull account with a social media service, e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter, or a payment
provider, e.g. Apple Pay or Google Pay, or if you engage with a separate App or Website that
uses our API, or whose API we use, we may receive information about you or your connections
from that Site or App.
8. This includes, without limitation, profile information, profile picture, gender, user name, user
ID associated with your social media account, age range, language, country, friends list, and
any other information you permit the social network to share with third parties. The data we
receive is solely dependent upon your own privacy settings with the social network.

(a) AGGREGATED DATA: We may collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical
or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data is de-identified or anonymized
and does not constitute Personal Data for the purposes of the GDPR as this data does
not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. If we ever combine Aggregated Data with
your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the
combined data as PII which will only be used in accordance with this policy.
Version 1
(b) DEVICE INFORMATION: When you use our Services through your computer, mobile

their own privacy policy.

which the data is collected; and
(ii) you (or your authorized representative) have provided written consent to the
collection and usage of your personal data for those purposes. This written consent
may be given by checking an online checkbox indicating your agreement to provide

(k) We may transfer the information described in this policy to, and process and store it
in, the United States and other countries, some of which may have less protective data
protection laws than the region in which you reside. Where this is the case, we will
take appropriate measures to protect your personal information in accordance with
this Privacy Policy.
14. The purposes listed in the above clauses may continue to apply even in situations where your
relationship with us (for example, pursuant to a contract) has been terminated or altered in
any way, for a reasonable period indicated in our retention policy (including, where applicable,
a period to enable us to enforce our rights under any contract with you).
WITHDRAWING CONSENT
15. The consent that you provide for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data will
remain valid until such time it is being withdrawn by you in writing. You may withdraw consent
and request us to stop using and/or disclosing your personal data for any or all of the purposes
listed above by submitting a written request either through the contact form at our website or
via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided below.
16. Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require reasonable
time (depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship with you)
for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding
to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities to
us.
Version 1
17. We shall provide you with a written confirmation stating that we no longer possess any of your
personal data.
18. Where applicable, we shall also instruct all third parties to whom your personal data has been

or deletion request and will provide confirmation of the same upon your request.
19. Whilst we respect your decision to withdraw your consent, please note that depending on the
nature and extent of your request, we may not be in a position to process your request (as the
case may be). We shall, in such circumstances, notify you before completing the processing of
your request (as outlined above). Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent,
please inform us in writing in the manner described in clause 8 above.
20. Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect our right to continue to collect, use and
disclose personal data where such collection, use and disclose without consent is permitted
or required under applicable laws.

21. You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us at any time by following the
instructions in those messages sent to you or by contacting us at any time using the Contact

requested, or our ongoing business relations.
ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
22. If you wish to make
(a) an access request for access to a copy of the personal data which we hold about you or

required to do so under the PDPA).
24. Please note that depending on the request that is being made, we will only need to provide
you with access to the personal data contained in the documents requested, and not to the
entire documents themselves. In those cases, it may be appropriate for us to simply provide
you with confirmation of the personal data that our organisation has on record, if the record
of your personal data forms a negligible part of the document.
CORRECTION OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION
Version 1
25. You may correct your account information at any time by logging into your online account. If
you wish to cancel your account, please submit a written request either through the contact
form at our website or via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided

and as required by law, or for legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law. For

committed fraud or violated our Terms of Service, we may seek to resolve the issue before
deleting your information.
ERASURE OR DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA
26. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that personal information we hold

27. In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data.
For example, you have the right to object to use of your personal information for direct
marketing purposes. Similarly, you have the right to object to use of your personal data if we
are processing your information on the basis of our legitimate interests and there are no
compelling legitimate grounds for our processing which supersede your rights and interests.
You may also have the right to restrict our use of your personal information, such as in
circumstances where you have challenged the accuracy of the information and during the
period where we are verifying its accuracy. To object to or restrict processing, please submit a
written request either through the contact form at our website or via email to our Data
Protection Officer at the contact details provided below.
DATA PORTABILITY OR TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
28. You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information we maintain about you in a
structured, machine-readable and commonly used format. To receive a copy of the

PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
29. To safeguard your personal data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying,
modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced commercially reasonable technical
and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access,
disclosure and alteration. Some of the safeguards we use are firewalls, anti-malware and
password protections.
Version 1
30. You should be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method
of electronic storage is completely secure. While security cannot be guaranteed, we strive to
protect the security of your information and are constantly reviewing and enhancing our
information security measures.
ACCURACY OF PERSONAL DATA
31. We generally rely on personal data provided by you (or your authorised representative). In

contact form at our website or via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details
provided below.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA
32. We may retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide
you Services. Following termination or deactivation of your account, we will retain information
for at least 1 year and may retain the information for as long as needed for our business and
legal purposes. We will only retain your Personal Data for so long as we reasonably need to
unless a longer retention period is required to fulfil the purposes for which they were collected,
or as required or permitted by applicable laws.
33. We will cease to retain your personal data, or remove the means by which the data can be
associated with you, as soon as it is reasonable to assume that such retention no longer serves
the purposes for which the personal data were collected, and are no longer necessary for legal
or business purposes.
TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF SINGAPORE
34. In order to provide our products and services to you, we may send and store your personal
information outside of the country where you reside or are located, including to the United
States. Accordingly, if you reside or are located outside of the United States, your personal
information may be transferred outside of the country where you reside or are located,
including countries that may not, or do not, provide the same level of protection for your
personal information. We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of
personal information when it is transferred.
35. If you reside or are located within the European Economic Area and such transfers occur, we
take appropriate steps to provide the same level of protection for the processing carried out
in any such countries as you would have within the European Economic Area to the extent
feasible under applicable law.
36. By using and accessing our products and services, users who reside or are located in countries
outside of the United States agree and consent to the transfer to and processing of personal
information on servers located outside of the country where they reside, and assume the risk
that the protection of such information may be different and may be less protective than those
required under the laws of their residence or location.
