5. DO NOT CALL REGISTER
The Do Not Call (“DNC”) Registry prohibits the sending of unsolicited telemarketing messages to Singapore telephone numbers through voice calls, text or fax messages registered on the DNC Registers, unless the organisations sending the messages first procure the user’s/subscriber’s clear and unambiguous consent in written or other accessible forms.
We may, at any material time, present you a form for your signature. The form shall contain such terms necessary to exempt us from the DNC and will become binding with your signature.
It is necessary to exempt us from the DNC in order to enjoy the full extent of our products and services.
Some of the parties we share your personal data with (under Section 3) may wish to contact you via email, phone call or otherwise for telemarketing purposes. We may, at any material time, present you a form containing such terms as to exempt said parties from the DNC. It is similarly necessary to exempt them from the DNC to fully benefit from the many services they offer.
Should you wish to withdraw your given consent, you may contact our Data Protection officer (“DPO”), who will be able to assist you on this matter.
