Lutheran Church in Singapore (Including her local congregations) (“LCS”) is committed to compliance of the Personal Data Protection Act (the “PDPA”) in the collection, use and disclosure of personal data.
This Personal Data Protection Policy (the “Policy”) contains policies and practices adopted by LCS in the collection, use and disclosure of personal data.
Personal data means data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified either from that data and or from other information to which JCC has or is likely to have access. Personal data includes, but is not limited to the following:
JCC respects the privacy and confidentiality of individuals.
JCC collects, uses and discloses personal data for purposes which may include, but are not limited to, the following:
whereby such communication may take the form of email, letter, fax, voice call, SMS and any other message receivable on a mobile phone, a computer or an electronic gadget (e.g., messages via WhatsApp, Line, WeChat, Viber, Skype, Facebook messenger, etc.).
We generally do not collect your personal data unless (a) it is provided to us voluntarily by you directly or via a third party who has been duly authorised by you to disclose your personal data to us (your “authorised representative”) after (i) you (or your authorised representative) have been notified of the purposes for which the data is collected, and (ii) you (or your authorised representative) have provided written consent to the collection and usage of your personal data for those purposes, or (b) collection and use of personal data without consent is permitted or required by the PDPA or other laws. We shall seek your consent before collecting any additional personal data and before using your personal data for a purpose which has not been notified to you (except where permitted or authorised by law).
JCC will collect personal data that is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the personal data is collected.
We may disclose your personal data:
The purposes listed in the above clauses may continue to apply even in situations where your relationship with us has been terminated or altered in any way, for a reasonable period thereafter (including, where applicable, a period to enable us to enforce our rights under a contract with you).
After the lapse of the opt-out period, you may notify us that you no longer wish to consent to the purposes for which your consent was deemed by notification by withdrawing your consent for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal data in relation to those purposes.
The data subject may request for (i) information on the personal data in our possession and the ways in which the data may have been used or disclosed and (ii) correction of any error or omission in the data.
Please note that a reasonable fee may be charged for an access request. If so, we will inform you of the fee before processing your request.
We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably possible. In general, our response will be within thirty (30) business days. Should we not be able to respond to your request within thirty (30) days after receiving your request, we will inform you within thirty (30) days of the time by which we will be able to respond to your request.
An individual who does not wish JCC to retain his or her personal data may give reasonable written notice to JCC to withdraw his or her consent to the retention of his or her personal data. JCC will cease to retain personal data about the person within ten (10) business days from receiving such written notice of withdrawal (pending the complexity and consequences and legal liability affecting your rights and our relationship with you) unless there are circumstances under which retention does not require the individual’s consent.
Where an individual withdraws his or her consent for JCC to collect, use or disclose his or her personal data, JCC may no longer be able to carry out the purposes set out in Part 3 above for or in relation to the individual.
An individual who wishes to make a request, or to lodge a complaint to JCC pertaining to any matters relating to the PDPA, may make a written request or lodge a written complaint by doing one of the following:
The DPO will investigate the complaint within a reasonable time of receiving the written request or complaint and will contact the complainant within a reasonable time, in order to address any concerns relating to matters with the PDPA. JCC reserves the right to reject, among others, frivolous or vexatious requests or complaints.
To safeguard your personal data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced appropriate administrative, physical and technical measures such as minimised collection of personal data, authentication and access controls (such as good password practices, need-to-basis for data disclosure, etc.), up-to-date antivirus protection, regular patching of operating system and other software, securely erase storage media in devices before disposal, web security measures against risks, usage of one time password(otp)/2 factor authentication (2fa)/multi-factor authentication (mfa) to secure access, and security review and testing performed regularly.

We may retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws.
