The “Stewardship Commons” website (“our website” or “the website”) is owned and operated by Stewardship Asia Centre CLG Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Stewardship Asia Centre”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

We have built the website that is a crowdsourced content and community hub. We appreciate you taking your time to participate and contribute to meaningful discussions on ESG, sustainability, responsible investing, steward leadership and more.

We set out in these terms and conditions(“this Agreement”) what we believe to be fair use of our website and of any content including all forms of multimedia (such as articles, videos, podcasts, photos, PDFs, PowerPoint presentations) and comments that you may post on our website.

If you have any comments or queries regarding this Agreement, please let us know. If you disagree with any part of this Agreement, please do not proceed with the member account creation and instead reach out to us at admin@stewardshipcommons.com

 

By clicking on the “I Agree”, “I Accept”, “Submit”, “Login” or similar button or checking the “I Agree” or similar box at the end of the member account sign-up process or when logging in to your member account, you (which shall include individual users and organisational users) agree to be bound by this Agreement as well as the website terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”), available here.

As used in this Privacy Policy, “personal data” means data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified: (a) from that data; or (b) from that data and other information to which we (and all our affiliated entities and relevant unaffiliated third parties) have or are likely to have access.

We collect personal data only when you or your authorised representatives provide it either directly or indirectly to us or to our partners/vendors, through submitting forms, emails, enquiries, and requests, making offers to be a volunteer, responding to our communications, participating in research and/or surveys conducted by us or our partners/vendors, and similar situations in which you have chosen to provide the information to us.

By providing us with your personal data, you consent to our collection, processing, transfer, use, disclosure and sharing of your personal data for the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy.

We will retain control of, and responsibility for, the use of any personal data you disclose to us. Such data shall remain in our possession, or that of data intermediaries acting on our behalf. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

The information you give us may include, but is not limited to, your name and email. If you choose not to provide such information, it may not be possible for us to respond to your request or enquiry, or process your volunteer request, or consider your feedback to improve our programmes through research and/or surveys. To respond to or process your requests, we may have to disclose your personal data to third parties (such as our service providers and professional advisors). Your personal data will not be disclosed to any further parties unless we have obtained your consent, are legally required to disclose your personal data, or are permitted under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (“PDPA”).

  • For other purposes as reasonably required to provide services to you
  • For any other purposes relating to the above

 

All personal data submitted to us should be complete, accurate, true and correct. Failure to do so may result in our inability to provide you with services you have requested and/or to process or administer the personal data.

Where personal data submitted by you concerns another individual other than yourself, you represent and warrant to us that all the necessary consents (in accordance with all applicable data protection legislation, including without limitation, the PDPA) have been obtained from the relevant individuals and that you have retained proof of these consents, such proof to be provided to us upon our request.

We may also have to disclose your personal data to our professional advisors or to any regulatory, government and statutory body to comply with applicable laws or regulations or upon their valid request.

You hereby authorise us to transfer your personal data to such third parties, who will process your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your personal data will not be disclosed by us to any other parties, unless we have obtained your consent, are legally required to do so, or are permitted under the PDPA.

Neither we nor any of our personnel shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you or any user due to any disclosure of any personal data to which you have consented.
