Data Protection Statement
Data Protection Statement
This Data Protection Statement is to be read together with Temasek Polytechnic’s (TP) Privacy Statement.
This Data Protection Statement sets out how the Student Development & Alumni Affairs Department (SDAA) uses and protects any information that you give to TP, to demonstrate our firm commitment to protect alumni information.
Should we ask you to provide certain information, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this statement.
SDAA reserves the right to change this Data Protection Statement from time to time by updating this page.
What we do with the information we gather
Your alumni record includes the information you provided as a student. This information is only updated if you provide it voluntarily. The data is kept indefinitely. Any information submitted by an individual to SDAA may be used to update that individual’s record.
The alumni data collected is limited to what is necessary to facilitate the carrying out of activities by TP as your alma mater. It will be kept confidential and will be used strictly for TP alumni engagement programmes. We may share necessary data with other Government agencies, so as to serve you in a most efficient and effective way, unless such sharing is prohibited by law. We will NOT share your personal data with non-Government entities, except where such entities have been authorised to carry out specific Government services.
Security
TP recognises the importance of safeguarding personal information. TP has put in place appropriate physical, technical and administrative procedures to minimise the risk of unauthorised access to alumni data, to maintain data accuracy and to ensure the appropriate use of information.
Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information
If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please update your personal information via this online form. We will revise any information found to be incorrect within 5-7 working days.
Opting Out of Communications
To opt out of receiving communications related to TP alumni, please complete and submit this online form. Do note that this process may take up to 4 weeks to take effect.
Please be aware that if you fully opt out, you will not receive all TP alumni news and information. We plan to increasingly send communications via email, so you may miss out on future notifications if you fully opt out, e.g. event notifications.
Please note that your details will still be held on the alumni database to facilitate disclosure of your personal information as required by law in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings, or in order to fulfil a statutory obligation.
We may still share necessary data with other non-Government entities to carry out specific Government services.
