PART A: GENERAL CUSTOMER DATA PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT

  1. Types of Customer Data 
    The types of Customer Data that BKPL collects depends on the circumstances of collection and on the nature of the service requested or transaction undertaken.

There are two broad categories of Customer Data that BKPL collects depending on the circumstances:

  • Personal Data, which includes but is not limited to -

(i) personal information that links back to an individual e.g., name, gender, date of birth, passport or other personal identification numbers;

(ii) contact information e.g., address, phone number, email address;

(iii) payment information e.g., credit or debit card information, including the name of cardholder, card number, billing address and expiry date;

(iv) order information e.g., order information, product purchased or other service preferences;

(v) technical information e.g., IP address, installed application information; and

  • Statistical Data e.g., number of orders, visits to the Website and usage pattern of our Mobile Services. This is stored purely for analytical purposes, and is entirely on an anonymous and aggregated basis. This information will not be stored to your customer record, and will only be aggregated for statistical analysis so that we can better understand BKPL's customer profile and improve BKPL's service offering.

For purposes of this policy statement, the phrase Customer Data includes Personal Data and Statistical Data.

The provision of Customer Data relevant for the transaction or service request at hand, (save for where the request for data is marked “optional” in the forms used to collect personal data) is obligatory in order for BKPL to carry out its services to you.

The failure to supply such Customer Data may result in (i) BKPL being unable to provide you with the services and/or products requested; (ii) BKPL being unable to update you on our latest products and/or launches; and/or (iii) your inability to enter or participate in contests, promotions or redemption activities organised by BKPL.


  1. Purposes for Collection, Use and Disclosure 
    Generally, BKPL collects Customer Data, either directly from you or from your authorised representatives (i.e. persons whom you have authorised, persons who have been validly identified as being you or your authorised representative pursuant to our then-current security procedures), from third parties (e.g., our service provider), or from publicly available sources, through our Website, Mobile Services, and other channels including our roadshow counters in order to fulfil the following purposes, which include but are not limited to:
  • Providing services to you such as processing a transaction (e.g., making a purchase), processing payment via our payment service provider, providing technical assistance, assisting you in the transaction, providing promotion alert messages through BKPL’s Mobile Services, facilitating internet purchases.

In addition, BKPL may disclose Customer Data to our legal advisors for establishing, exercising or defending our legal rights, to our other professional advisors, or as otherwise authorised or required by law. BKPL also reserves the right to share Customer Data as is necessary to prevent a threat to the life, health or security of an individual.

  2. Consent 
    Generally, in the course of making a purchase at BKPL or BKPL performing servicing functions such as processing your order, helping you with membership registration, transmitting promotion alert messages or accepting payment information, Customer Data will, by nature of the task or transaction, be provided by Customer to BKPL. In such instances, consent will necessarily be implied from the Customer that they are agreeable to providing Customer Data in order for BKPL to provide the requested or necessary service and/or product to them.  However, where required by law, BKPL will adopt an ‘opt-in' policy for obtaining customer consent, in which event, express written consent will be sought from you when collecting your Customer Data e.g., signing a form or checking a box. Where you make purchases on behalf of another person, you undertake and will ensure that the individual whose Customer Data is supplied to BKPL has authorized the disclosure, is informed of and consents to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

You may submit a request to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting BKPL (see Section 10).

Statistical Data is not linked to a customer record and BKPL does not need to seek consent for the collection, use or disclosure of Statistical Data. For more information on the collection and usage of Customer Data obtained from the Website and through the Mobile Services, please refer to Part B.

  1. Access

    When destroying Customer Data, we will take commercially reasonable and technically possible measures to make the personal information irrecoverable or irreproducible in accordance with the applicable laws.

BKPL may also request Personal Data updates from you from time to time. As detailed in Section 2 above under the “Use and Disclosure” sub-section, your order information may be disclosed to the appropriate customs and immigration authorities (for overseas purchases) as required by law. As such, it is important to ensure that the Personal Data contained in your order information is current, complete and accurate.

  1. Security safeguards 
    BKPL takes the security and protection of your Customer Data very seriously. As such, BKPL makes reasonable security arrangements to protect your Customer Data against loss or theft as well as unauthorised access and undue disclosure.

As an example of a procedural safeguard, BKPL has implemented various authentication procedures internally and with our external service providers that may involve BKPL requesting various personal particulars from you in order to verify your identity (or that of your duly authorised agent) before BKPL processes your request for a particular service, product or transaction.

Examples of technical safeguards include encryption, “firewalls” and Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Further details of these technical safeguards for Customer Data collected through BKPL’s Website and Mobile Services are set out at Part B below.

It is the Customer’s responsibility to take care and ensure the continued confidentiality and accuracy of their Customer Data. BKPL will not be liable for any consequential misuse and/or fraud. If you have any concerns about security, you should contact BKPL (see Section 10).

  1. Updates to the privacy policy
