2. What is not Personal Data Personal data does not include data about a data subject which has been anonymised. Anonymisation is the process of removing identifying information such that the remaining data does not identify any particular individual. Techniques can include pseudonymisation¹, aggregation, replacement, data reduction², data suppression³, data shuffling⁴, or masking⁵.

¹Replacing identifiers with other references. For example, replacing an individual’s name with a tag or reference number.

²Removing values that are not required for the purpose. For example, removing ‘Ethnicity’ from a data set of individuals’ attributes.

³Banding or hiding the value within a given range. For example, replacing age ‘43’ with the range ‘40-50’.

⁴Mixing up or replacing values with those of the same type so that the information looks similar but is unrelated to the actual details. For example, the surnames in a customer database could be sanitised by replacing them with those drawn from another database.

⁵Removing certain details while preserving the look and feel of the data. For example, representing a full string of numbers on a credit card as 4346 XXXX XXXX 5379 instead of ‘4346 6454 0020 5379’.

4. Consent

1. Consent Required Cedar Strategi Consulting will not collect, use or disclose your personal data unless:

   • you give, or are deemed to give, consent to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal data; or
   • the collection, use or disclosure of your personal data without your consent is required or authorized under the PDPA or other written law.

   If you disclose the personal data of third parties to Cedar Strategi Consulting, you represent that you have obtained the consent of the relevant third parties to have their personal data collected, used and/or disclosed by Cedar Strategi Consulting for the applicable purposes listed in clause 1.

2. Provision of Consent

   Cedar Strategi Consulting will not obtain or attempt to obtain your consent for collecting, using or disclosing personal data by providing false or misleading information with respect to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal data.

3. Withdrawal of Consent

   • You may at any time withdraw your consent for any of the purposes which you have previously consented to by providing us with notice through a request submitted to the Data Protection Officer in writing or via the email at the content details provided below.
   • Please be aware that once we receive confirmation that you wish to withdraw your consent, it may take up to ten (10) working days for your withdrawal to be reflected in our systems. During this period of time, your personal data will continue to be collected, used and/or disclosed pursuant to the purposes set out at clause 3 above.
   • On receipt of such notice, Cedar Strategi Consulting will inform you of the likely consequences of withdrawing your consent and we may no longer be in a position to continue to provide our services to you. Such a withdrawal may therefore result in the termination of any relationship that you may have with us.
   • At the same time, it should be noted that your withdrawal of consent will not prevent us from exercising our legal rights (including any remedies, or undertaking any steps as we may be entitled to by law).
   • The withdrawal of consent in itself may not result in the deletion or destroying of your personal data. Any retention of data will be based on Cedar Strategi Consulting’s business needs as deemed legitimate under the PDPA provisions.

5. Data Quality Cedar Strategi Consulting will take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal data it collects, uses or discloses is accurate, complete and up to date.

We generally rely on personal data provided by you (or your authorised representative). In order to ensure that your personal data is current, complete and accurate, please update us if there are any changes to your personal data by informing our Data Protection Officer in writing or via the email at the content details provided below.

6. Data Security & Retention To safeguard your personal data from unauthorised access, collection, use, copying, modification, disclosure, disposal or similar risks, Cedar Strategi Consulting takes appropriate administrative, physical and technical measures.

You should be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While security cannot be guaranteed, we strive to protect the security of your information and are constantly reviewing and enhancing our information security measures.

Cedar Strategi Consulting will not keep personal data for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws, and will take reasonable steps to securely dispose of personal data if it is no longer needed.

8. Access and Correction You are entitled to have access to the personal data about you that is in the possession or under the control of Cedar Strategi Consulting and information about the ways in which the personal data has been or may have been used or disclosed within a year before the date of the request. This can be done by you making a written application to our Data Protection Officer or via the email at the content details provided below requesting for any such information. Cedar Strategi Consulting reserves the right to estimate a fee before processing your request (representing its costs in administering your request) for supplying such information and to refuse requests which, in its opinion, occur with unreasonable frequency.

Cedar Strategi Consulting will also, where you have requested that it correct an error or omission in the personal data about you that is kept with Cedar Strategi Consulting, correct such data as soon as practicable and send the corrected personal data to every organisation to which the personal data was sent before it had been corrected, if applicable, unless that organisation does not need the corrected personal data for any legal or business purpose.

Cedar Strategi Consulting will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Should we not be able to respond to your request within twenty (20) working days after receiving your request, we will inform you in writing within twenty (20) working days of the time by which we will be able to respond to your request. If we are unable to provide you with any personal data or to make a correction requested by you, we shall generally inform you of the reasons why we are unable to do so. Cedar Strategi Consulting may however choose not to provide you with access to or correct such information, in accordance with the exceptions under the PDPA. This would include cases where:

• Cedar Strategi Consulting is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the correction should not be made;
• The request for access is frivolous or vexatious or the information requested is trivial;
• The personal data is related to a prosecution and all the proceedings related to the prosecution have not been completed;
• The personal data, if disclosed, would reveal confidential commercial information that could, in the opinion of a reasonable person, harm the competitive position of the organisation; and
• The personal data was collected, used or disclosed for the purposes of an investigation and associated proceedings and appeals have not been completed.

Please note that depending on the request that is being made, we will only need to provide you with access to the personal data contained in the documents requested, and not to the entire documents themselves. In those cases, it may be appropriate for us to simply provide you with confirmation of the personal data that our organisation has on record, if the record of your personal data forms a negligible part of the document.
