Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 July 2026 · Data protection contact: [email protected]

1. Introduction and data controller

SG Daily Report Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202941628M), located at 5 Science Park Drive #02-11, Singapore 117456, is the data controller responsible for personal data collected through sgdailyreport.life and related correspondence channels. This Privacy Policy explains our practices in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) of Singapore and subsidiary legislation.

As an independent AI and technology media platform, we collect only the personal data necessary to operate our newsroom, respond to reader enquiries, process story tips, and maintain website security. We do not sell personal data to third parties and do not use reader information for unrelated marketing agency purposes or income-course funnels.

2. Personal data we collect

We may collect the following categories of personal data depending on how you interact with our platform:

• Identity and contact data: name, email address, telephone number, and organisation name when you submit our contact form, send story tips, or request media partnerships.
• Correspondence data: the content of messages you send to [email protected] or through our web forms, including coverage requests and correction reports.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited — collected automatically through server logs and analytics tools when you browse our site.
• Cookie and consent data: your cookie preferences stored locally and in consent cookies for up to six months, as described in our Cookie Policy.
• Source protection data: where you request anonymity as a journalistic source, we may hold identifying information separately under restricted access protocols.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as national identification numbers, financial account details, or health records through our public website. Please do not submit such information via contact forms.

3. How we collect personal data

Personal data is collected through direct interactions when you complete forms on contact.php, send email to our newsroom addresses, or communicate with our editorial team by telephone. Indirect collection occurs through automated technologies including cookies, web server logs, and analytics platforms that measure readership patterns and site performance.

We may also receive personal data from third parties when you are referred to us by a media partner or when public information is used for journalistic purposes in accordance with applicable law and our editorial standards.

4. Purposes of collection and use

We process personal data for the following purposes, each supported by a valid legal basis under the PDPA:

• Responding to enquiries, story tips, coverage requests, and media partnership proposals submitted through our contact channels.
• Operating and improving sgdailyreport.life, including troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and security incident response.
• Complying with legal obligations, responding to lawful requests from authorities, and defending legal claims.
• Conducting editorial activities including source verification, fact-checking, and publication of technology journalism — where you have consented or where processing is necessary for legitimate journalistic interests.
• Sending administrative communications related to your enquiry where you have provided contact details and consent.
• Analysing aggregated, anonymised readership trends to improve our editorial sections and coverage formats.

We will not use your personal data for purposes incompatible with those described above without notifying you and, where required, obtaining fresh consent.

5. Consent and withdrawal

Where consent is the basis for processing — including contact form submissions that require explicit PDPA consent checkbox confirmation — you may withdraw consent at any time by emailing [email protected]. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal but may limit our ability to continue correspondence regarding your enquiry.

Our contact form consent checkbox is never pre-ticked. Submission without consent will result in rejection of the form at the server level.

6. Disclosure to third parties

We may share personal data with the following categories of recipients under appropriate contractual safeguards:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers who store website data on our behalf within secure data centres.
• Email delivery services used to route contact form submissions to our editorial inbox.
• Analytics providers that process anonymised or pseudonymised usage statistics — subject to your cookie preferences.
• Professional advisers including legal counsel and accountants where necessary for compliance or dispute resolution.
• Law enforcement or regulatory authorities when required by applicable Singapore law or court order.

We do not disclose personal data to marketing agencies, data brokers, or income-course promoters. International transfers, if any, are conducted with appropriate safeguards consistent with PDPA requirements.

7. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:

• Contact form submissions and email correspondence: up to twenty-four months from last interaction, unless a longer period is required for ongoing editorial or legal matters.
• Server logs and security records: typically ninety days, extendable for incident investigation.
• Cookie consent records: six months, aligned with our cookie banner storage period.
• Journalistic source records: retained according to editorial policy and legal privilege considerations, with restricted access.

When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer identify you.

8. Data security

SG Daily Report Pte. Ltd. implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS encryption for data in transit, access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, and periodic review of security practices.

No transmission method over the internet is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use secure channels when submitting sensitive editorial material.

9. Your rights under the PDPA

Subject to exceptions under the PDPA, you have the right to:

• Request access to personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Withdraw consent for processing based on consent.
• Request information about how your personal data has been used or disclosed within the past year.

To exercise these rights, contact [email protected] with sufficient detail to identify your request. We will respond within thirty days or as otherwise required by the Personal Data Protection Commission guidelines. A reasonable fee may apply for manifestly unfounded or excessive access requests.

10. Children's privacy

Our platform is directed at adult professionals and informed readers interested in technology journalism. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under eighteen years of age. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, please contact us for prompt deletion.

11. Third-party links and embeds

Our editorial articles may link to external websites, research papers, and technology vendor pages. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external services you visit through our links.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or our data practices. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of sgdailyreport.life after changes constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy where permitted by law.

13. Automated decision-making

SG Daily Report does not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Analytics data may inform editorial strategy at an aggregated level — for example, understanding which technology beats attract readership — but individual reader profiles are not built for automated content manipulation or targeted commercial offers.

Should we introduce any automated processing that affects individuals in a significant way, we will update this policy and provide appropriate notice and consent mechanisms as required by the PDPA. Editorial analytics — such as measuring readership of our applied AI chapter features — are conducted on anonymised datasets that cannot reasonably identify individual readers without additional information.

14. Cross-border data transfers

Our primary data processing occurs within Singapore. Where personal data is transferred to service providers located outside Singapore, we ensure that comparable protection standards are maintained through contractual clauses, vendor due diligence, and selection of providers with recognised data protection certifications. You may request details of safeguards applied to specific transfers by contacting [email protected] at any time.
