To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, we will not be responsible for any losses arising from any inaccurate, inauthentic, deficient, or incomplete personal data that you provide to us.
Security
We have implemented technical and organizational security measures in an effort to safeguard the personal data in our custody and control. Such measures include, for example, limiting access to personal data only to staff and authorized service providers on a need-to-know basis for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, as well as other administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. These measures are designed to meet the requirements of the PDPA, APPs, and UK GDPR, including conducting privacy impact assessments where appropriate.
We endeavor to take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, but cannot guarantee the security of any data you disclose online, including through our login platform. Please note that email is not a secure medium and should not be used to send confidential or sensitive information. By providing information online, you accept the inherent security risks of providing information over the Internet and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security, unless it is due to our negligence or willful default. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, we disclaim liability for any unauthorized access, loss, or breach of personal data.
We have also put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Data Transfer
Gray & Gray is an international company with offices in Singapore, Australia, and the UK. Details regarding our offices and affiliated entities (including Gray & Gray APAC LLP, Gray & Gray Pte. Ltd., Grays LLC, and their respective affiliates and subsidiary undertakings) can be found at [Insert link to locations page]. Your personal data may be transferred to or shared across our integrated computer networks with one or more of Gray & Gray’s offices in these jurisdictions and potentially other countries that may not be subject to data protection laws similar to those prevailing in the jurisdiction in which such information is provided to or received by us. However, all of our offices adhere to the same procedures with respect to your personal data, including this Privacy Policy.
It may be necessary to transfer personal data across borders to provide our services, enable access for our personnel (including via the login platform), and for related purposes as set out in this Privacy Policy, including updates and enhancements to our records, analysis to help us manage our practice, statutory returns, legal and regulatory compliance, the administration and management of the Company’s global IT systems, and our other legitimate business interests.
Under the PDPA, we ensure that overseas recipients provide a standard of protection comparable to the PDPA. Under the APPs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients do not breach the APPs (unless an exception applies). Under the UK GDPR, when we transfer personal data from the UK to countries that are not recognized as offering an adequate level of protection by the ICO, we implement adequate safeguards, such as UK International Data Transfer Agreements or Addendums incorporating standard contractual clauses. These safeguards are designed to protect your privacy rights and provide you with remedies in the unlikely event that your personal data is misused.
