Relying on our legitimate interests

We have carried out balancing tests for all the data processing we carry out on the basis of our legitimate interests, which we have described above. You can obtain information on any of our balancing tests by contacting us using the details set out later in this notice.

Withdrawing consent or otherwise objecting to direct marketing

Wherever we rely on your consent, you will always be able to withdraw that consent, although we may have other legal grounds (where recognized under applicable law) for processing your data for other purposes, such as those set out above. In some cases, we are able to send you direct marketing without your consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests. You have an absolute right to opt-out of direct marketing, or profiling we carry out for direct marketing, at any time. You can do this by following the instructions in the communication where this is an electronic message, or by contacting us using the details set out below.

Who will we share this data with, where and when?

Quilt may disclose your personal data to the following categories of recipients (in all cases, only when necessary to fulfil their functions):  

  • Third party service providers who process your personal data on our behalf for the purposes identified above. In particular, we use third party providers of website hosting, maintenance, call center operation and email marketing services. 
  • Our external consultants (including technology and engineering teams), professional advisors (including lawyers and auditors) and agents.
  • Government authorities and/or law enforcement officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated by law or if required for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws.

In the event that the business is sold or integrated with another business, your details will be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser’s adviser and will be passed to the new owners of the business. 

We have offices in Singapore, the UK and the US. Therefore, where required to perform our contract with you or for our wider business purposes, the information that we hold about you will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination in Singapore, the UK and the US.

Transfers of data from within the EEA or the United Kingdom to outside the EEA

Where information is transferred from within the EEA, or the United Kingdom, to a country outside the EEA, and where this is to a stakeholder or vendor in a country that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, data is adequately protected by EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses or a vendor's Processor Binding Corporate Rules. A copy of the relevant mechanism can be provided for your review on request by contacting us at using the details set out below.  

Transfers of data from a country not within the EEA or the United Kingdom to outside of that country 

When information is transferred from a country (not within the EEA or the United Kingdom) to outside of that country, we will ensure that your information is protected to at least the same standard as that which is required in the originating country. For example, we will always ensure that there is a proper legal agreement that covers the data transfer.

What rights do you have in relation to your personal data?

Subject to applicable laws, you may have rights in relation to your personal data. 

Such rights include the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data; to correct, delete or restrict (stop any active) processing of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine readable format, and to ask us to share (port) this data to another controller.

In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing). 

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. Relevant exemptions are set out under applicable law, including the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act and the EU General Data Protection Regulations. We will inform you of relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.

To exercise any of these rights, or to obtain other information, such as a copy of a legitimate interests balancing test, you can get in touch with us – or our data protection officer – using the details set out below. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to the data protection authority where you live, work or where you believe a breach may have occurred. 

We will indicate to you at the point of collection whether the provision of information is mandatory: if relevant data is not provided, then we will not be able to provide our website(s) or services to you. All other provision of your information is optional – in this case, there will be no impact on the provision of our website(s) or services if you do not provide us with the requested information. 

How long will we retain your data?

Where we process user registration data, we do this for as long as you are an active user of our services and for 6 years after this. Where we process personal data in connection with performing a contract, we keep the data for 6 years from your last interaction with us.

Where we process personal data for marketing purposes or with your consent, we process the data until you ask us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing indefinitely so that we can respect your request in future.

Which Quilt entity is my data controller, and which affiliates might my data be shared with?

The data controller for your information is Quilt AI Pte. Ltd. We may share your personal data with our affiliates where required to perform our contract with you or for our wider business purposes. You can obtain the identity and contact details of the affiliates with whom we share your personal data by contacting us using the details set out below.
