If you have any questions about this policy, please contact our data protection officer at [email protected].

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling for marketing purposes without your prior consent.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under Singapore's PDPA, we process your personal data on the following bases: with your consent (where applicable), to fulfil a contract for services you have engaged us to provide, or to meet legitimate business interests in delivering and improving our services — where these interests do not override your privacy rights.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. Typically:
- Enquiry and contact data: up to 12 months from last contact
- Active client records: for the duration of the engagement and up to 5 years thereafter (for legal and audit purposes)

After retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
6. Sharing Your Data
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share data with:
- Landlords or their representatives, where necessary to facilitate tenancy negotiations or documentation — and only with your knowledge
- Third-party service providers (e.g. housekeeping, maintenance), strictly for lifestyle coordination under managed service agreements
- Professional advisors (solicitors, accountants) where legally required
- Government authorities, if required by law
All third parties are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection standards.
7. Data Protection Measures
- All electronic client records are stored in encrypted, access-controlled systems
- Physical documents are kept in secure, locked premises
- Access to personal data is restricted to team members who require it for service delivery
- In the event of a data breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) in accordance with PDPA requirements
8. Cookies
Our website uses cookies to maintain basic site functionality and — where you have consented — to understand how visitors use the site. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our Cookie Policy page.
