PRIVACY POLICY

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, TSEC collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. TSEC’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TSEC visitors use its website. From time to time, TSEC may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

TSEC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on www.straitseye.com.sg blogs/sites.  TSEC only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to TSEC websites choose to interact with TSEC in ways that require TSEC to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that TSEC gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at www.straitseye.com.sg to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with TSEC are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, TSEC collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with TSEC.  TSEC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
 

Aggregated Statistics

TSEC may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites.  TSEC may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, TSEC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

TSEC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on TSEC behalf or to provide services available at TSEC websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using TSEC websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. TSEC will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, TSEC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when TSEC believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TSEC, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an TSEC website and have supplied your email address, TSEC may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with TSEC and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.  TSEC takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
