You may withdraw consent at any time using the contact details below or the preference links we provide. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.
• Deemed consent for contract necessity: Where the collection, use or disclosure of personal data about you is reasonably necessary for the performance of a contract between you and Guardian Pro Pte.

Sharing your data
We may share personal data with:
• Service providers (processors) who provide hosting, analytics, marketing, CRM, payment, security, support and other services under contract and subject to confidentiality and data protection obligations.

Cross border transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Singapore or your home jurisdiction. Where we do so, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions or technical and organisational measures where appropriate (for example, encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and data minimisation).
Storage and security
We take all reasonable precautions and implement all necessary safeguards to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Measures include:
• Access controls based on least privilege and role based security
• Encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate
• Network and endpoint security, vulnerability management and logging
• Secure development and change management practices
• Vendor due diligence and contractual security requirements
• Staff training and confidentiality obligations
Despite these measures, no system is completely secure. We maintain incident response procedures and will notify you and/or regulators of a data breach where we are legally required to do so.
Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Retention periods depend on the type of data and context of processing. We will securely delete or anonymise data when it is no longer needed.
