Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

PressPointCo Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202986274M) is the data controller for personal data processed through presspointco.pro. Our registered address is 6 Raffles Quay, #14-02, Singapore 048580. Privacy enquiries: [email protected] or +65 6675 3918.

We operate an independent Singapore news and information platform covering business, technology and city news. This policy applies to all visitors, readers and individuals who submit information through our website or communicate with our editorial team.

2. Scope and Singapore law

We comply with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) of Singapore and applicable subsidiary legislation. Where you access our website from outside Singapore, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in Singapore and that local laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

This policy should be read together with our Cookie Policy and Terms of Use. In the event of inconsistency regarding cookies, the Cookie Policy prevails for cookie-specific matters.

3. Personal data we collect

We may collect the following categories of personal data depending on how you interact with presspointco.pro:

• Identity and contact data: name, email address, telephone number, organisation name when you submit our contact form, send email to [email protected] or correspond with editors.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, time zone, referral URLs and pages viewed — collected through server logs and, where consented, analytics tools.
• Usage data: information about how you navigate presspointco.pro, including articles read, scroll depth and interaction with site features — subject to your cookie preferences.
• Communication content: the text of messages, news tips, corrections and partnership proposals you voluntarily provide.
• Consent records: timestamps and selections associated with PDPA consent checkboxes and cookie banner choices.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as national identification numbers, financial account details or health information through standard website forms. Please do not submit such data unless strictly necessary and with explicit context.

4. How we collect personal data

Personal data is collected through:

• Direct submission via contact forms, email, telephone or in-person correspondence at our Raffles Quay office.
• Automated technologies including cookies, server logs and analytics scripts — only where permitted by your cookie preferences for non-essential processing.
• Publicly available professional information when researching stories, subject to editorial standards and fair use principles.

We do not purchase personal data lists for marketing prospecting. PressPointCo is a newsroom, not a marketing agency, and we do not sell reader data to third-party advertisers for lead generation.

5. Purposes of processing

We process personal data for the following purposes, relying on consent, legitimate interests or legal obligation as appropriate under the PDPA:

• Responding to enquiries, news tips, corrections and partnership proposals submitted through contact channels.
• Operating, securing and improving presspointco.pro, including debugging, fraud prevention and capacity planning.
• Understanding aggregate readership patterns to improve editorial coverage and site usability — where analytics cookies are accepted.
• Complying with legal obligations, responding to lawful requests from authorities and enforcing our Terms of Use.
• Maintaining internal records of consent and communication history for accountability and dispute resolution.
• Sending operational messages related to your enquiry. We do not send unsolicited marketing email without separate consent.

6. Legal basis and consent

Contact form submissions require explicit PDPA consent via the consent_pdpa checkbox before we process your name, email and message. Without this consent, we cannot handle your enquiry through the form — though you may still email us directly, in which case we process your email content to respond.

For non-essential cookies and analytics, we rely on your cookie banner selection. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies, updating preferences through our banner (on return visits before consent is stored) or contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

7. Disclosure to third parties

We may share personal data with:

• Service providers: hosting providers, email delivery services, analytics vendors and security tools that process data on our instructions under contractual confidentiality and data protection terms.
• Professional advisers: lawyers, auditors or insurers where necessary for compliance or defence of legal claims.
• Authorities: regulators, courts or law enforcement when required by applicable law or to protect rights, safety and integrity of our platform.

We do not sell personal data. We do not disclose reader contact details to marketing agencies, political campaigns or data brokers. If we engage in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, personal data may transfer subject to continued protection consistent with this policy, and we will notify affected users where required.

8. International transfers

Our primary systems are located in Singapore. Some service providers may process data in other countries. Where personal data is transferred outside Singapore, we implement appropriate safeguards — contractual clauses, vendor assessments and minimisation of data fields — consistent with PDPA requirements for transfer limitations.

9. Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described:

• Contact form and email enquiries: typically up to twenty-four months after last correspondence, unless a longer period is needed for legal claims or ongoing editorial follow-up.
• Server logs: typically up to twelve months for security analysis.
• Cookie consent records: six months aligned with our cookie banner storage period, then refreshed on next visit.
• Analytics data: aggregated or pseudonymised retention per vendor configuration, generally not exceeding twenty-six months.

When retention periods expire, we delete or anonymise data unless law requires longer storage.

10. Security

We implement administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of data processed — access controls, encrypted transport (HTTPS), staff training and vendor due diligence. No internet transmission is completely secure; you provide information at your own risk, though we work to protect data in our custody.

Contact form submissions may be logged locally on our server as a backup delivery mechanism. Access to such logs is restricted to authorised personnel.

11. Your rights under the PDPA

Subject to exceptions in the PDPA, you may:

• Request access to personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Withdraw consent for processing that relies on consent, where applicable.
• Request information about how your data has been used or disclosed within the past year.

To exercise these rights, email [email protected] with sufficient detail to identify your request. We respond within reasonable timeframes prescribed by law. We may charge a fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.

12. Children

presspointco.pro is intended for general business and news readership and is not directed at children under thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted data, contact us for deletion.

13. Third-party links

Our articles may link to external websites, company filings or social platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. Review their policies before submitting personal data.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical or operational changes. The "Last updated" date at the top will change accordingly. Material changes may be highlighted on presspointco.pro. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

15. Contact and complaints

Data protection enquiries: [email protected] · PressPointCo Pte. Ltd., 6 Raffles Quay, #14-02, Singapore 048580 · +65 6675 3918.

If you are unsatisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) of Singapore in accordance with its procedures.

16. Do Not Call and marketing communications

PressPointCo is a news organisation, not a telemarketing or email marketing agency. We do not purchase personal data lists for promotional prospecting. If you consent to operational email related to a specific enquiry, we use your address only to respond to that matter unless you separately opt in to newsletters we may launch in future. You may unsubscribe from any optional mailing list at any time using the link provided or by emailing [email protected].

17. Data breach notification

In the unlikely event of a personal data breach likely to result in significant harm, we will assess the incident promptly, take containment measures and notify the PDPC and affected individuals where required under the PDPA. We maintain incident response procedures appropriate to the scale of data we process.

PressPointCo is an independent Singapore news platform. This Privacy Policy governs data processing for journalistic and operational purposes — not marketing-agency lead sales or political campaigning databases.
