Privacy Policy

Discovergle ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 ("PDPA"). This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal data when you use this website.

By using this website or submitting your personal data to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

1. Who we are

Discovergle is an independent information website on Singapore careers, industries and skills. We publish articles and tools only. We are not an employment agency, we do not publish job vacancies, and we do not recruit, screen or place candidates.

2. Personal data we collect

We collect personal data only when you choose to give it to us, for example when you send a message through our contact form or email us. This may include:

• your name;
• your email address;
• the contents of your message, and any other information you choose to include.

Please do not send sensitive information such as your NRIC number, Singpass details, OTPs, bank account details or passwords. We will never ask for them.

The hours calculator and the scam checker run entirely in your browser. The information you enter into them is not sent to us or stored.

3. Technical data

Our web server may automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and to keep the site running.

4. How we use your personal data

We use your personal data only for the following purposes:

• to respond to your questions, feedback or correction requests;
• to consider topic suggestions you send us;
• to maintain the security and proper functioning of this website;
• to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

We do not use your personal data for direct marketing unless you have given us your consent. We do not sell your personal data.

5. Disclosure of personal data

We do not disclose your personal data to third parties except:

• to service providers who help us operate the website and handle email, and who are required to protect your data;
• where required or authorised by law, such as by a court order or a regulatory or law enforcement authority;
• with your consent.

6. Transfer of personal data outside Singapore

Some of our service providers may store or process data outside Singapore. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data receives a standard of protection comparable to that required under the PDPA.

7. Protection and retention

We take reasonable security measures to protect personal data in our possession against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We keep your personal data only as long as it is needed for the purposes in section 4 or as required by law. When it is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymise it.

8. Your rights

Under the PDPA you may:

• ask for access to the personal data we hold about you, and information on how it has been used or disclosed in the past year;
• ask us to correct personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal data.

To make a request, email our Data Protection Officer at the address below. We may need to verify your identity first, and we will respond within a reasonable time. If you withdraw consent, we will explain the likely consequences, and we may not be able to continue to deal with your enquiry.

9. Third-party websites

Our articles may link to websites run by others, including government agencies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their policies before giving them your personal data.

10. Children

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. If you believe a child has given us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
