Cookies

We use cookies to provide visitors with a personalised experience on our Website. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to the memory or hard drive of a visitor’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies to allow access without re-entering the visitor’s User ID, to make improvements, and to better tailor our Website to our visitors’ needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors meet the criteria required to process their requests.

Most browsers used by visitors have options that allow the visitor to control whether the browser will accept cookies, reject cookies, or notify the visitor each time a cookie is sent. However, if you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Website may become inaccessible or not function properly. In addition, you can delete your Halfwish cookies from your browser program at any time.

Change of purpose

We will only process your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If there is any change in the purposes for which we collect your Personal Data, we will inform you of such change by way of a notice email. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us at wish@halfwish.com. If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so as well as obtain your consent to the use of your Personal Data for such purpose where we are required to do so by law.

3. Disclosure of information

We may disclose your Personal Data to our Affiliates and third parties in limited circumstances as set out below:

(a) We may share your Personal Data with our suppliers, agents or contractors in connection with services they perform for us or pursuant to agreements with our suppliers.

(b) We may share your Personal Data with third parties to comply with a legal obligation, when we believe in good faith that an applicable law requires it, at the request of government authorities conducting an investigation, to verify or enforce our contractual rights or other applicable policies, to detect and protect against fraud or any technical or security vulnerabilities, to respond to an emergency, or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety or security of third parties and visitors to our website or the public.

(c) As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires or merges with us, your Personal Data will be disclosed to such entity.

(d) Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganisation proceeding is brought by or against us, all such information will be considered an asset of ours and as such it is possible they will be sold or transferred to third parties.

We do not disclose your Personal Data to unaffiliated third parties for their independent use unless we have obtained your express consent to do so and pursuant to executing confidentiality agreements with such unaffiliated third parties. We also require all third parties to respect the security of your Personal Data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

4. Retention of information

We only retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary for us to process your Personal Data as described above. However, please be advised that we may retain some of your Personal Data after you cease to use our services, for instance if the data is necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as retaining the information for tax and accounting purposes.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

5. International transfers of information

We generally do not transfer your Personal Data to countries outside of Singapore. However, if we do so, we will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data continues to receive a standard of protection that is at least comparable to that provided under the PDPA. For example, we will always ensure that there is a proper legal agreement that covers the data transfer.

6. Security

Our management and their teams take commercially reasonable precautions to keep all information obtained from our online visitors secure against unauthorised access (e.g. data breach) and use and we periodically review our security measures. Although there is no way that any Website can absolutely guarantee the security of your Personal Data, Halfwish is committed to employing reasonable security measures, regularly reviewing our security practices (security risk assessments / audits), and providing regular awareness training. You are responsible for keeping your login information and passwords confidential. Halfwish uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, which allows you to view our Website through an HTTPS connection for its Website security certificates. Please be aware that these protection tools do not protect information that is not collected through our Website, such as information provided to us by e-mail.

7. Collection of information from children

Halfwish does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not provide personal data of any kind whatsoever.

If a child under the age of 13 provides us with personal data, a parent or guardian of that child may have this information deleted from our records by contacting us through wish@halfwish.com.
