This privacy policy describes how we collect and use your personal information in relation to Ceteris websites, applications, products, services, events, and experiences that reference this privacy policy (together, “Ceteris Offerings”).
This privacy policy does not apply to the “content” processed, stored, or hosted by our customers using Ceteris Offerings in connection with a Ceteris account. This privacy policy also does not apply to any products, services, websites, or content that are offered by third parties or have their own privacy policy.

How we share personal information
Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling our customers’ personal information to others. We share personal information only as described below.
- Transactions involving third parties: We make available to you services, software, and content provided by third parties for use on or through Ceteris Offerings. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share information related to those transactions with that third party.
- Third-party service providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include: delivering Ceteris hardware, sending communications, processing payments, assessing credit and compliance risks, analysing data, providing marketing and sales assistance (including advertising and event management), conducting customer relationship management, and providing training. These third party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process that information in accordance with this privacy policy and as permitted by applicable data protection law.
- Business transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or services. In such transactions, personal information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policy (unless, of course, the individual consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Ceteris or substantially all of its assets are acquired, your information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
- Protection of us and others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce or apply our terms and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or security of Ceteris, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud prevention and detection and credit risk reduction.
- At your option: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when personal information about you might be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
Location of personal information
Ceteris & Company is located in Singapore, and our affiliated companies are located throughout the world. Depending on the scope of your interactions with Ceteris Offerings, your personal information may be stored in or accessed from multiple countries, including Singapore. Whenever we transfer personal information to other jurisdictions, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this privacy policy and as permitted by applicable data protection laws.

At Ceteris, security is our highest priority. We design our systems with your security and privacy in mind.
- We maintain a wide variety of compliance programs that validate our security controls.
- We protect the security of your information during transmission to or from Ceteris websites, applications, products, or services by using encryption protocols and software.
- We follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) when handling credit card data.

Retention of personal information
We keep your personal information to enable your continued use of Ceteris Offerings, for as long as it is required in order to fulfill the relevant purposes described in this privacy policy, as may be required by law (including for tax and accounting purposes), or as otherwise communicated to you. How long we retain specific personal information varies depending on the purpose for its use, and we will delete your personal information in accordance with applicable law.

If you have any concern about privacy at Ceteris or want to contact one of our data controllers, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.
If you interact with Ceteris Offerings on behalf of or through your organisation, then your personal information may also be subject to your organisation’s privacy practices, and you should direct privacy inquiries to your organisation.
Our business changes constantly, and our privacy policy may also change. You should check our website frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all personal information we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of personal information collected in the past without informing affected customers and giving them a choice.
