Privacy Policy - Kopi Bytes
Welcome to Your Digital Kopitiam!
At Kopi Bytes, we’re all about serving up HDB insights with a side of humor, not slurping up your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your info when you hang out at our virtual kopitiam, in line with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) and with a nod to global standards like GDPR and CCPA for our international friends. Lah, we keep it transparent, so you can sip your kopi worry-free!
Quick Note: Right now, we only collect your email for newsletters (if you sign up) and location data (if you share) to make our insights more shiok. We anonymize where we can, and we don’t track you like a hawker aunty eyeing your plate!
What Data Do We Collect?
We’re not greedy lah, we only take what we need to make your experience better:
- Email Address: If you join our newsletter gang, we grab your email to send you HDB updates, quirky stats, and the occasional kopi joke.
- Location Data: If you tell us where you’re at (e.g., your region or postal code), we use it to serve you insights tailored to your area. This is anonymized and aggregated unless you say otherwise.
- Usage Data: We collect anonymized info like how you navigate our site (e.g., which tools you play with) to improve our kopitiam. No personal details here, just patterns.
- Future Data: As we grow, we may collect more data (e.g., for personalized tools or ads) but only with your consent. We’ll update you if that happens, promise!
How Do We Use Your Data?
We use your info to keep the kopi flowing smoothly:
- Newsletters: Sending you HDB insights, market updates, and a sprinkle of humor to brighten your day.
- Targeted Insights: If you share your location, we dish out data relevant to your neighborhood, like “Which HDB flats near you are selling faster than kaya toast?”
- Improving Our Site: Anonymized usage data helps us tweak our tools (like the Bala Curve Explorer) and make our content more shiok.
- Future Plans: Down the road, we might use data for personalized ads or premium features, but we’ll ask you first, okay?
How Do We Keep Your Data Safe?
We protect your data like it’s our secret kaya recipe. We use secure systems, encryption (like SSL for payments, if any), and strict access controls. But, no internet service is 100% hacker-proof, so we stay vigilant to keep your info safe.
Your Rights (You’re the Boss Lah)
Under the PDPA and other laws, you’ve got rights over your data:
- Access: Want to see what data we have on you? Drop us a note at hello@kopibytes.com.
- Correction: If your email or other info is wrong, let us know, and we’ll fix it.
- Deletion: Want out? Ask us to delete your data, though we may need to keep some for legal reasons (e.g., records for audits).
- Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from newsletters anytime via the link in our emails. No hard feelings!
- Consent Withdrawal: If you gave us permission to use your data, you can take it back anytime by contacting us.
Changes to This Policy
We might tweak this policy as our kopitiam grows (e.g., new tools or features). We’ll post updates here and let you know via email or a banner if it’s a big change. Last updated: April 29, 2025.
