Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What control do I have over my personal data?
At Kura Kura, we honour the principles of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) in Singapore. You can update, correct, or delete your personal information at any time by accessing your account settings. Should you wish to withdraw consent, you can also deactivate your account, but please be aware that some information may remain in our records due to statutory obligations.
2. How secure is my personal information?
We adhere to the requirements of Singapore's PDPA, ensuring appropriate security arrangements to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. This includes data encryption and regular security audits. However, as digital platforms can't be entirely immune from risks, we can't give an absolute assurance of security.
3. Do you share my data with third parties?
We strictly adhere to the PDPA, which means we don't sell or share your personal data with third-party advertisers or marketers. We may disclose your personal data if we are required to do so by law or in response to legal processes.
4. How long do you keep my data?
We retain your personal data as long as your account is active, and as needed to provide you services, in compliance with the PDPA. If you choose to withdraw your consent by deleting your account, we will remove your data, unless we need to retain it to comply with our legal obligations.
5. What if I'm under the age of 16?
In accordance with the PDPA, if you are under 16, you need to have your parent or guardian’s consent before using our services. We take efforts to restrict access to our platform for users under this age without verified parental consent. If we learn that we've collected personal data from a child under 16 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
6. What if I have questions about this policy?
