Personal information should be handled with the same care as a trusted introduction.

1. Scope

This notice applies to personal data managed by Apex Circle in connection with website enquiries, event participation, membership applications, community administration and related communications.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on the interaction, information may include:

• name, role, company and industry;
• email address, phone number and other contact details;
• event registration and attendance information;
• membership application information and business background;
• communications, feedback and conduct-related reports;
• technical information reasonably generated when using the website.

Please do not provide sensitive or unnecessary information through public website forms.

3. How information may be used

Information may be used to respond to enquiries, manage event access, assess membership suitability, administer member relationships, facilitate requested introductions, protect community standards, improve services, maintain security and meet legal or regulatory obligations.

4. Sharing and disclosure

Information may be shared with authorised community administrators, service providers or relevant parties where reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, with consent where required, or when permitted or required by law. Personal data is not sold to advertisers.

5. International transfers

Where a requested international introduction or service provider involves personal data being handled outside Singapore, reasonable steps should be taken to ensure an appropriate standard of protection consistent with applicable requirements.

6. Retention

Personal data should be retained only for as long as reasonably needed for business or legal purposes, after which it should be securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise no longer associated with an identifiable individual.

7. Security

Reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards should be used to reduce risks such as unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, loss or disposal. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Access, correction and withdrawal

Subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions, individuals may request information about personal data held about them, ask for correction, or withdraw consent for future use. Withdrawal may affect the ability to provide certain community services.

9. Website storage and external services

The website uses essential browser storage to remember whether the introduction video has recently been shown. The launch package does not include advertising cookies or third-party analytics by default. External services added later may have their own privacy practices and notices.

10. Data protection enquiries

Data protection enquiries, access or correction requests and privacy concerns may be submitted through the Contact page. They will be routed to the designated data protection contact.

This notice should be reviewed whenever Apex Circle changes its legal entity, service providers, member portal, analytics, payment or data-handling practices.
