Privacy Policy
Introduction
Alyst ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (No. 26 of 2012) of Singapore (the "PDPA"). This policy explains how we handle personal data collected through this website and our related services. By using the Service, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data as described here.
Information collected from all visitors
When you visit our website we automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies — such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed and access times — including aggregated and statistical data that does not identify you personally. This helps us operate and improve the site.
Additional personal information we may collect
We collect personal data that you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and the details of any enquiry or subscription — for example, when you sign up for deadline reminders or contact us.
Use of personal information
We use personal data to:
- operate and provide the Service, including sending deadline reminders you have requested;
- respond to your enquiries and feedback;
- send you communications you have consented to receive;
- understand and improve how the Service is used; and
- comply with applicable laws and regulatory obligations.
Non-disclosure
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We may share it with trusted service providers who assist us with functions such as email delivery and website analytics, under obligations of confidentiality and only to the extent necessary.
Disclosure of personal information
We may disclose personal data where required or permitted by law, to comply with legal process, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or in connection with a business sale, merger or acquisition.
Overseas transfer
Some of our service providers may store or process data outside Singapore. Where personal data is transferred overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it receives a standard of protection comparable to that under the PDPA.
Use of cookies
We use cookies for site functionality and analytics, including Google Analytics, which may set its own cookies. You can decline or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly if you do.
Security of your personal information
We put in place reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Access to, updating and non-use of your personal information
You may request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to stop using it, by contacting our Data Protection Officer below. We will respond in accordance with the PDPA. Certain exceptions to access apply under the PDPA (including section 21(2)), and we may charge a reasonable fee for an access request as permitted by law.
Data breach notification
If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in significant harm to affected individuals or is of a significant scale, we will notify the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), and affected individuals where required, in accordance with the PDPA.
Links to other websites
Our website may link to other sites, including government portals. This policy applies only to our Service; other sites have their own privacy policies, for which we are not responsible.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing our compliance with the PDPA. To make a request, withdraw consent, or raise a concern, contact:
- Data Protection Officer — Alyst Data Protection Officer
- Email — hello@alyst.asia
