What data is collected
This website is a set of static pages. It runs no analytics, sets no advertising or tracking cookies, embeds no third-party fonts, scripts, maps, videos or captchas, and makes no request to any external server when you view a page.
There is currently no enquiry form on this site. Personal data therefore reaches us only when you contact us directly by email or by post, and consists of what you choose to put in that message.
- Identifying and contact details — name, company, role, email address, postal address, and a telephone number if you provide one
- The content of your enquiry and of any subsequent correspondence, including the specifications you send us
- Transaction details where a business relationship follows, such as order, shipment, documentation and settlement information
- Technical data recorded by the hosting provider in server logs, including IP address, request time, requested page and user agent
Why it is used, and on what legal basis
Under the Singapore PDPA we use personal data for the purposes notified at the point of collection: responding to an enquiry, preparing and performing a contract, meeting legal, customs and record-keeping obligations, and maintaining ordinary business correspondence.
Where the GDPR applies, the legal bases are these. Answering your enquiry, taking steps at your request before entering into a contract and then performing that contract rests on Article 6(1)(b). Keeping records of business correspondence, following up within a reasonable period, protecting our legal position and preventing fraud rests on our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f); those interests are our interest in operating and evidencing a commercial relationship, balanced against your interest in not receiving unwanted contact. Where a legal obligation applies to a record — trade, customs, tax or product documentation — Article 6(1)(c) applies to that record.
We do not rely on consent as the basis for handling business enquiries, and we do not use enquiry data for marketing.
Right to object
Where we handle your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f), you have the right to object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you object, we will stop unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the data is needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
This right is stated separately here because Article 21(4) requires it to be presented clearly and separately from other information.
Recruitment
If you apply for a role, we handle the personal data in your application — contact details, career history, qualifications and anything else you choose to include — in order to assess your suitability and to correspond with you about the application.
Where the GDPR applies, the basis is Article 6(1)(b) for steps taken at your request before a possible employment contract, and Article 6(1)(f) for keeping a record of the recruitment process. Under the Singapore PDPA the purpose is notified here and at the point of collection.
Applications from candidates we do not proceed with are deleted within six months of the decision unless you ask us to keep them on file for future openings. We do not share applications outside the company.
Who else sees it
Personal data is disclosed only where it is necessary to perform the work or to comply with the law. That may include producers, carriers, forwarders, warehouse operators, inspection bodies engaged for your shipment, customs agents and insurers; our hosting and email providers acting on our instructions; and professional advisers, auditors or authorities where disclosure is required.
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for advertising purposes.
International transfers
This company is established in Singapore and its systems and correspondence are held there. If you contact us from the European Economic Area, your personal data is transferred to and processed in Singapore.
Singapore is not the subject of an adequacy decision by the European Commission. Transfers therefore rely on appropriate safeguards, in the form of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses where required, or on Article 49(1)(b) of the GDPR where the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or for pre-contractual steps taken at your request. A copy of the safeguards relied on for a given transfer is available on request from the address above.
Under the Singapore PDPA, where personal data is transferred out of Singapore we take reasonable steps to ensure that a comparable standard of protection applies to it.
How long it is kept
Enquiries that do not lead to a business relationship are kept only as long as needed to deal with them and any follow-up, and are then deleted.
Records connected to a transaction are kept for as long as the accounting, tax, customs and product-documentation rules applying to that transaction require, and for the period during which a claim could still be brought. Server logs kept by the hosting provider are retained for that provider’s standard period and are not used to profile visitors.
Your rights
Under the Singapore PDPA you may request access to personal data we hold about you and correction of anything inaccurate, and you may withdraw consent you have given, subject to the consequences and to our legal obligations.
Where the GDPR applies you may additionally request erasure, restriction of processing or portability of data you provided to us, and you may object as set out above. Where processing rests on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Requests should be sent to the postal address above. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Automated decisions, and whether you have to give us data
We take no automated decisions about you, and we do not profile you. Nothing on this site scores, ranks or segments a visitor.
You are not obliged to give us personal data. If you contact us, we need enough to answer — normally a name, a company and a reply address — and without it we cannot respond. Providing anything further is your choice and has no consequence beyond the level of detail in our answer.
We have not appointed a representative in the European Union under Article 27 of the GDPR. Enquiries from the EEA are handled directly by the company at the contacts above.
Complaints
If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your personal data, tell us first and we will look into it. You may also complain to the Personal Data Protection Commission in Singapore. If the GDPR applies to your data, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the EU or EEA state where you live or work, or where the issue arose.
Cookies and local storage
This site sets no analytics, advertising, profiling or tracking cookies and stores nothing in your browser for those purposes. No consent banner is shown because there is nothing to consent to; displaying one would imply a choice that does not exist.
No third-party resources are loaded. Fonts, stylesheets and images are served from this domain only, so viewing a page does not disclose your visit to any other company.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. It is static, has no login area and no database, and processes no payment. Commercial correspondence is handled by ordinary business email, and confidential documents should be exchanged accordingly.
Changes to this notice
This notice may be updated as our processing changes. The version shown here applies from 23 August 2026.
