2. Obtaining Your Consent
By providing your personal information during the course of a transaction—whether placing an order, verifying payment, arranging delivery, or requesting a return—you are deemed to have consented to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information for that specific purpose.
For purposes beyond direct transaction fulfilment (such as marketing), we will:
- Seek your express consent before using your information.
- Provide clear options to opt out at any point.
Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to our Data Protection Officer at terrychen@scottnshane.com.

Rest assured, all disclosures are made in accordance with relevant data protection laws.
4. Third-Party Services & Cross-Border Data Transfer
We work with carefully vetted third-party service providers such as payment gateways, courier services, and analytics tools. These partners are contractually obligated to use your information only for the services they provide.
- Data Retention & Jurisdiction: If services involve overseas entities, your data may be transferred to or stored in jurisdictions outside Singapore. In such cases, we ensure comparable protection standards as required by the PDPA.
- Due Diligence: We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party platforms you are redirected to, as our policy no longer applies beyond our digital environment.
