This statement applies to Judgify’s information collection and use policies with respect to use of the Sites and the users of its Platform (as such terms are defined in the Site’s Terms of Use, available at https://www.judgify.me/l/terms-of-uses located at www.judgify.me. By using the Site or the Platform, you consent to the data practices described in this Statement.

Privacy policy principles are guided by the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) which will be enforced in Singapore in July 2014 as well as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into force on 25 May 2018 to govern the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Data by organisations in a manner that recognizes both the right of individuals to protect their data and the need of organisations to collect, use or disclose personal data for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances.

The PDPA has made a further distinction between Personal Data and Business Contact Information which specifies the scope of application of the Act itself.

“Personal Data” refers to data about an individual who can be identified from that data; or from that data and other information that the organisation is likely to have access. On the other hand, “Business Contact Information” is defined as “an individual’s name, position name or title, business telephone number, business address, business electronic mail address or business fax number and any other similar information about the individual, not provided by the individual solely for his personal purposes.”

The PDPA does not cover Business Contact Information.

For the avoidance of doubt, all references to “Services” shall include our event management platform (“the Platform”), applications, technological tools, products, features and offering that is made available by us to our Customers and/or Users. All references to “Client” herein shall refer to an individual or entity who has engaged and/or entered into an event management agreement with us for the purposes of using our Services for, inter alia, a specific event or as the case may be. All references to “submission” herein shall include an individual or entity who has registered an account with our Services for the purposes of submitting the said event.

Which information we may collect on our Clients?

We collect two types of data and information:

A. Non-personal Information

The first type of information is non-identifiable and anonymous information (“Non-personal Information”). To put it simply, we have no idea what is the identity of the User from which we have collected the Non-personal Information. Like most websites on the Internet the Non-personal Information which is being gathered consists of technical information and behavioral information, without limitation, details such as:

Technical information:

• Type of operation system (e.g. Windows, Linux, etc.)
• Type of Browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome etc.)
• Browser and keyboard language (e.g. English)
• IP Address
• Your approximate geographic location
• Any Similar technical information

Behavioral information:

• User activity such as log-ins, date, and time of access.
• Overall, impersonal statistical information regarding total amount of e-mails that were sent, received, opened and/or hyperlinks clicked by the recipient(s).

Please note that in order to collect the Non-Personal Information we may use common third party analytics services such as: Google Analytics , Facebook Insights etc.

B. Personal Information

The other type of information is individually identifiable information (“Personal Information”). To put it simply, this information may identify an individual or is of a private and/or sensitive nature. Personal Information which is being gathered consists of any personal details provided voluntarily by the User (e.g. User’s name, email address, company etc.) mainly by registration to the Platform and/or sync services of such Personal Information on our Platform. The clicks, mouse movements and similar information with regard to the User’s session (e.g. the fact that User has chosen to click on a certain link or access a certain webpage) may be identifiable and regarded as Personal Information.
