We process Personal Data based on at least one of the following legal bases:

  • Individuals have given consent to the processing of their Personal Data for one or more specific purposes;

  • Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
  • Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the individual or of another natural person;
  • Processing is in the legitimate interests of our organisation or another person and the legitimate interests of our organisation or other person outweigh any adverse effect on the individual.

In this privacy policy we refer to the respective legal basis of the individual data processing operations.

 

4. Onward transfer of Personal Data

We forward Personal Data to recipients (Data Intermediary or other third parties) only to the extent required and only if one of the subsequent conditions are met:

  • the individual has consented to the data transfer;
  • the onward transfer is required to fulfil a contractual obligation or pre-contractual measure on the request of the individual;
  • we are obliged by law to make such a transfer;

5. Third countries

To process enquiries from individuals, it may be necessary to transfer Personal Data to recipients, such as other group members and the WEVO head office, which are located outside Singapore. The transfer takes place based on your voluntary given consent pursuant to section 10 (2) of the Personal Data Protection Regulations 2021. The transfer of Personal Data to the WEVO head office in Germany is protected by the legal guarantees under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). WEVO Germany have implemented adequate technical and organisational security measures to ensure appropriate security, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. To the extent your Personal Data are transferred to countries that do not provide sufficient legal guarantees, WEVO will base the respective transfer on appropriate contractual safeguards, for example the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
