PDPA data protection notice
The short notice we give when we collect personal data through an enquiry, a consultation or an engagement. The full Privacy Policy has the details.
This notice tells you, in brief, what JK Marcam LLP does with the personal data you give us when you enquire, attend a consultation or engage us, as the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (the "PDPA") requires. Our full Privacy Policy has the details.
Who is collecting your data
JK Marcam LLP (UEN T17LL1121L), 10 Anson Road #10-11, International Plaza, Singapore 079903. Our Data Protection Officer can be reached at enquiry@jkmarcam.com or +65 6920 2404.
What we collect
Your name, contact details, company, the particulars of your trade mark and its goods or services, the details of the applicant and its authorised representatives, correspondence about your matter, and billing details.
Why we collect it
- To answer your enquiry and carry out the complimentary consultation and basic clearance search.
- To act as your trade mark agent: searches and assessments, filing and prosecuting applications with IPOS and other trade mark offices, office actions and oppositions, recordals, renewals, portfolio management and trade mark watch.
- To keep you informed of deadlines, reports and renewals for your marks.
- To invoice you, keep our accounts and meet our legal obligations.
Who we share it with
Only as needed for your matter: IPOS, WIPO and the trade mark offices of the countries you choose (which publish applicant details on their public registers); the overseas trade mark agents we instruct for you; the providers that run our website form, live chat, email, work platform and accounting; our professional advisers; and authorities where the law requires. We do not sell personal data.
Overseas transfers
Filing outside Singapore means your data goes to the trade mark office and our correspondent in that country. We take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected to a standard comparable to the PDPA.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement: up to [number] months. Client files: for the life of the registration and at least seven years after our engagement ends. Accounting records: as Singapore law requires.
Your rights
You may ask to access or correct your personal data, or withdraw your consent, by writing to our Data Protection Officer. We respond within 30 days. Withdrawing consent may mean we cannot continue to act for you.
Your consent
By submitting an enquiry, attending a consultation or engaging us, you consent to JK Marcam LLP collecting, using and disclosing your personal data for the purposes above. If you give us personal data about another person, you confirm that you have their consent to do so.
