We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies) or as described in section 8 below. Generally, we will only use your information within FortuneZ. However, sometimes FortuneZ uses third parties to process your information on our behalf.

If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to FortuneZ website and its pages or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on any FortuneZ service, FortuneZ may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.

Where FortuneZ reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any applicable laws (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), FortuneZ may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school email/internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

9. What if I am a user aged 16 or under?

If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian’s permission before you provide any personal information to FortuneZ. Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.

10. How long will FortuneZ keep my personal information?

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with FortuneZ or FortuneZ‘s corporate retention schedule (a database that defines which documents should be kept and for how long). If you cancel your registration as a FortuneZ website member and your account is deleted a red flag goes on the database and, while FortuneZ cannot use the personal information, it stays on the system for a period of one year for administration purposes before being deleted automatically.

Where you contribute material to FortuneZ we will generally only keep your content for as long as is reasonably required , or even permanent, duration, for the purpose(s) for which it was submitted.

FortuneZ, as a privately funded organisation, also has an obligation to record snapshots of history which may include some User Generated Content i.e. content provided by the public. Therefore, some content submitted to, or shared with FortuneZ may be retained for prolonged periods of time or potentially indefinitely in FortuneZ‘s Archive, which is true of News contributions which are published. There may also be rare instances where we will share your contribution with third parties in the interests of maintaining historical archives (e.g. lookbooks, campaigns, etc.). Where possible, we will endeavour to inform you upfront or let you know at a later date where we are likely to keep content indefinitely or pass it onto an approved historical archive.

11. Can I find out what personal information FortuneZ holds about me?

Under the Data Protection Act you have the right to request a copy of the personal information FortuneZ holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge SGD$15 for information requests and require you to prove your identity with 2 pieces of approved identification). We will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you on our files.

12. Cookies Policy – Information FortuneZ collects from you

a. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer, tablet or mobile phone (referred to here as a “device”) browser from a website’s computer and is stored on your device’s hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

On FortuneZ website and pages, cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor our websites to your interests.

During the course of any visit to a FortuneZ page, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

b. How does FortuneZ use cookies?

Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience. For example, if on a previous visit you went to our education pages, we might find this out from your cookie and highlight educational information on your second and subsequent visits. FortuneZ uses this type of information to help improve the services it provides to its users. All third parties are strictly required not to use any information for their own business or other purposes (see section 6 above). Certain areas of FortuneZ pages may use cookies for a specific reason – for example, to help a video work or GIF. file effectively on your device.

d. FortuneZ cookies and how to reject cookies?

Full information about how FortuneZ uses cookies can be found in the cookies section of FortuneZ Privacy & Cookies website.

If you wish to control what cookies are set on your device through FortuneZ website then you can find out how to do this in the Managing Cookies section of FortuneZ Privacy & Cookies website. It is important to note that if you change your settings and block certain cookies, this means that certain personalised features cannot then be provided and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the websites’ features.

13. Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting

DNT is a feature offered by some browsers which, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing is not tracked, such as by third party ad networks, social networks and analytic companies. This website does not currently respond to DNT requests, however, you may opt-out of tracking on this website, including analytics, by changing your cookie settings here.

A uniform standard has not yet been adopted to determine how DNT requests should be interpreted and what actions should be taken by websites and third parties. FortuneZ will continue to review DNT and other new technologies and may adopt a DNT standard once available.
