This Data Privacy Policy has been prepared to assist you in understanding how Wong Fong Academy Pte Ltd (WFA) collects, uses and/or discloses or otherwise processes personal data that is provided to us.
Privacy of your personal data is important to us, and WFA is committed to show care when managing these information through our Privacy Policy statement, which is consistent with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012.
The policy applies to Wong Fong Academy Pte Ltd and its associated/affiliated businesses and outlines our obligations and practices in the handling of the Personal Data we collect and hold. If you have any questions on this policy or in relation to how WFA manages, protects and/or processes your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) via email: dpo@wfa.edu.sg.
Personal data (“Personal Data”) refers to all and any information relating to you obtained by us in the course of and as a result of the provision of any products and services by us to you. Personal Data includes but not limited to your name, mailing address, telephone number(s) and personal email address and NRIC number, nationality, gender, date of birth, marital status, photographs, employment information and financial information.
Generally, we collect Personal Data from customers and prospective customers, for purposes relating to the products and services we offer. These purposes include, but are not limited to:
We may for these purposes, contact you via mail (including electronic mail), telephone, SMS or other communication (text or image) applications for mobile devices.
Where possible, we will collect your Personal Data directly from you and secure the relevant consent from you. This may take place in a number of ways, such as when you physically visit us at our Training Centres/Exhibition Booths to provide us a written order or virtually ask us to provide a product or service over the telephone or internet.
Our websites and mobile applications may also offer interactive facilities, such as enquiry, comment forms and contest entry forms, where Personal Data may be collected. In addition, we may also obtain Personal Data from third parties such as our partners, contractors and regulatory authorities.
Regardless of who provides Personal Data to us, it will always be handled by us in accordance with this Personal Data Protection and Privacy Policy and the Personal Data Protection Act 2012.
In providing you with a product or service, we may sometimes need to disclose your Personal Data to others. It is generally not our policy to disclose your Personal Data to external organisations unless we have your consent and/or are required to disclose your Personal Data as required in the normal course and scope of our business in the provision of our services to you, and/or for contractual, legal and regulatory requirements.
Some examples of the types of external organisations we may need to disclose information to in the course of providing a product or service are:
Some of our information technology service providers may be located overseas (if any) and, as a result, Personal Data collected and held by us may be transferred overseas.
Unless otherwise required or permitted by law, we will only disclose your Personal Data with your consent (implied or expressed), and we will also take reasonable steps to ensure the external organisation to whom we have disclosed your information are also legally bound to protect the privacy of your Personal Data.
However, please note that we may disclose your personal data to third parties without first obtaining your consent in certain situations, including, without limitation, the following:
For the full list of exemptions, please refer to the Act which is publicly available at
https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/PDPA2012.
We will do our best to ensure that the Personal Data we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date whenever we collect or use it. This means that from time to time, we may approach you via our marketing channel to get updates for your Personal Data. If you find that the Personal Data we hold about you is incorrect, please contact us immediately and we will correct it.
Security of Personal Data is important to us and we take all reasonable precautions to protect Personal Data from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Some of the ways we protect Personal Data include:
You can access most of the Personal Data we hold about you by contacting us formally through email at dpo@wfa.edu.sg. We will require a formal written request from you to our Data Protection Officer. An administrative fee may be charged to you to cover the reasonable cost of retrieving the information and supplying it to you.
Access to Personal Data may be refused in a number of circumstances, such as where the Personal Data relates to anticipated legal proceedings or the request for access is frivolous or vexatious. If we deny or restrict your access, we will explain why as required by applicable laws.
Should you wish to withdraw your consent for us to send you sales and marketing information via a specific mode or all modes of communications (e.g., mail, email, telephone calls, SMS-Text), please notify us in writing to dpo@wfa.edu.sg. It may take up to 4 weeks, upon receipt of your request, for the change to take effect.
Your Personal Data will only be retained for a reasonable period based on your transaction purposes, usually no more than 5 years or as required by law.
Should you believe that the privacy of your Personal Data has been compromised, please contact us at dpo@wfa.edu.sg. We will take the relevant steps to address your concerns.

A “cookie” is a string of information which assigns you a unique identifier that we store on your computer. Your browser then provides that unique identifier to use each time you submit a query to the Sites. We use cookies on the Sites to, among other things, keep track of services you have used, record registration information, record your user preferences, keep you logged into the Sites, facilitate purchase procedures, and track the pages you visit.

The following types of cookies may be used when you visit the Sites:
Advertising cookies are placed on your computer by advertisers and ad servers in order to display advertisements that are most likely to be of interest to you. These cookies allow advertisers and ad servers to gather information about your visits to the Sites and other websites, alternate the ads sent to a specific computer, and track how often an ad has been viewed and by whom. These cookies are linked to a computer and do not gather any personal information about you.
Analytics cookies monitor how users reached the Sites, and how they interact with and move around once on the Sites. These cookies let us know what features on the Sites are working the best and what features on the Sites can be improved.
Our cookies are “first-party cookies” and can be either permanent or temporary. These are necessary cookies, without which the Sites won't work properly or be able to provide certain features and functionalities. Some of these may be manually disabled in your browser but may affect the functionality of the Sites.
Personalisation cookies are used to recognise repeat visitors to the Sites. We use these cookies to record your browsing history, the pages you have visited, and your settings and preferences each time you visit the Sites.

A “web beacon” or “pixel tag” is tiny object or image embedded in a web page or email. They are used to track the number of users who have visited particular pages and viewed emails and acquire other statistical data. They collect only a limited set of data, such as a cookie number, time and date of page or email view, and a description of the page or email on which they reside. Web beacons and pixel tags cannot be declined. However, you can limit their use by controlling the cookies that interact with them.
