SingX takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. A reference in this policy to “we”, “us” shall mean the SingX Group while a reference to “you” and “your” shall mean a reference to the customer.
This policy covers how SingX and its affiliates including SingX Singapore Pte Ltd (the “SingX Group”) treats personal information that we collect and receive, including information related to your past use of SingX products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number that is not otherwise publicly available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that SingX does not own or control, or to people that SingX does not employ or manage.

1) Your contact information, including your (first and last) name, (billing and/or delivery) address, birthdate and email address and your telephone number.

B) Data collected by automated means. Various technologies may be used on our website and our mobile and web-based applications in order to make them more user-friendly, effective and secure. Such technologies may lead to data being collected automatically by us or by third parties on behalf of us. This data does not generally, but may, contain a user's personal data. Examples of such technologies include:
1) Click-stream data. A visit to our Site results in data that is transmitted from your browser to our server being automatically collected and stored by us or by third parties on behalf of us. This data can include, in particular, the following:
- The visitor's IP address
- The date and time of the visit
- The referral URL (the site from which the visitor has come)
- The pages visited on our website
- Information about the browser used (browser type and version, operating system, etc).
2) Cookies. A number of places on our Site and our mobile and web-based applications make use of cookies. These are essentially small text files that are stored on your computer's hard drive or your user device by your web browser. We can use cookies to identify the owner of a user account. In other words, cookies help to make our website or our (mobile and web-based) applications more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. By default, web browsers enable the use of cookies but this function can also be disabled. However, this will result in some services not being available. It is also possible to manually delete cookies after their use via the web browser. More information may be available from your web browser provider.
3) Web beacons and tracking links. Web beacons (also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) involve graphics that are not apparent to the user. Tracking links and/or similar technologies consist of a few lines of programming code and can be embedded in our website or our (mobile) applications. In conjunction with cookies, these are primarily used for statistical analysis purposes. This technology can also be used for tracking traffic patterns on websites, as well as finding out if an e-mail has been received and opened and to see if there has been any response.
4) Web analytics. Web analytics is the term given to a method for collecting and assessing the behaviour of visitors to websites and (mobile) applications. This includes the analysis of traffic patterns in order, for example, to determine the frequency of visits to certain parts of a website or (mobile) application, or to find out what information and services our visitors are most interested in. For these purposes, we primarily make use of click-stream data and the other techniques listed above. Web analytics are carried out by Google Analytics and/or other selected parties. This means that when you visit our website or use any mobile or web-based applications, a cookie will be stored on your computer or mobile device, except when your browser settings do not allow for such cookies.
C) The following classes of services, products and subjects may be marketed in direct marketing:
1) Services and products related to our site and/or our licensed remittance operators (including marketing programs we are a part of);
2) Reward, loyalty or privileges programmes, promotional offers and related services; and
