By accessing our website, using our mobile application interacting with us, submitting information to us, or signing up for any of our products or services, you agree and consent to Singlife collecting, using and disclosing your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

For the purpose of this Policy, “personal data” means data, whether true or not, about a person who can be identified from that data or from that data and other information to which we have or are likely to have access.
Common examples of personal data that we may collect from you, or that you may provide to us, include the following:
When you provide personal data on a third party (e.g. spouse, children, parents), including and not limited to beneficiaries or as a life assured, it is deemed you have obtained their consent to provide to us for a specific purpose.
Generally, Singlife may collect, use, disclose your personal data when it is provided to us by you (or your authorised representative) after you (or your authorised representative) have been notified of the purposes for which the data is collected, and you (or your authorised representative) have provided consent to the collection and usage of your personal data for those purposes, or where the collection and use of personal data without consent is permitted or required by the PDPA or other laws.
We may collect, use and disclose your personal data for any or all of the following purposes (“Purposes”), depending on the circumstances under which we may need to process your personal data:
The Purposes may continue to apply for a reasonable period thereafter even in situations where your relationship with us has been terminated or altered in any way.
As the purposes for which Singlife may collect, use, or disclose your personal data may depend on the circumstances at hand, a particular purpose may not appear in the list of Purposes above. However, we will notify you of such other purpose at the time of obtaining your consent, unless the processing of your personal data without your consent is permitted by the PDPA or other applicable laws.
Please note that, in the course of our business operations, we may be disclosing the personal data you have provided us to our third party vendors, service providers, agents, affiliates, related corporations and/or other third parties whether located in Singapore or outside of Singapore, for one or more of the abovementioned Purposes. This may also include disclosures of personal data to our professional advisers such as our lawyers and auditors; any law enforcement agency, statutory board, government regulator, government authority, dispute resolution or industry bodies as necessary to comply with any laws, rules, regulations, agreements or schemes; any other party as permitted under applicable law.
In any circumstances where you provide Singlife with personal data of a third party (e.g. your spouse, children, or parents), including and not limited to as beneficiaries or as a life assured (“Third Party Data”), you represent, warrant and undertake that:
The consent that you provide for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data in connection with the Purposes will remain valid until such time it is being withdrawn by you in writing. You may withdraw consent and request us to stop collecting, using and/or disclosing your personal data for any or all of the Purposes listed above by submitting your request in writing or via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided above.
Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require reasonable time (depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship with you) for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities to us. In general, we shall seek to process your request within ten (10) business days of receiving it.
Whilst we respect your decision to withdraw your consent, please note that depending on the nature and scope of your request, we may not be in a position to continue providing our services to you or honour the obligations in relation to any life insurance policy/policies that you may have with us. We will, in such circumstances, notify you before completing the processing of your request. If you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent following such notification, please inform us in writing or via email to our Data Protection Officer.
Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect our right to continue to collect, use and disclose personal data where such collection, use and disclose without consent is permitted or required under applicable laws.
