The Policy extends to and covers all operations and functions of ECG Pte. Ltd.
MDTCX’s Privacy Policy Statement will be periodically reviewed to account for new laws and technology, changes in our operations and practices, and to ensure its relevance in the evolving environment.
The term “individual” refers to a customer, client, trustee, or any other person with whom we interact. All contractors, sub-contractors, vendors, service providers, customers, agents, or any other third parties with access to and/or utilization of personal information collected and/or held by MDTCX must adhere to this Privacy Policy.
“Personal information” refers to information or an opinion about an individual that can be used to identify that individual. Some of the personal information we collect is considered “sensitive information.” “Sensitive information” encompasses details related to a person’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion, trade union or other professional or trade association membership, sexual preferences, criminal record (also personal information), and health information about an individual.

1. How we collect personal information

As a provider of financial services, including trading education, we may collect sensitive information pertaining to an individual’s personal circumstances and financial details, which may potentially identify the individual and/or contain opinions about the individual.
Our ability to offer individuals our products and services may sometimes depend on our acquisition of specific personal information about the individual. Typically, the personal information we collect about the individual includes their name, age, date of birth, occupation, mailing address, phone number, email address, and other information relevant to the products and services we provide.
The personal information may also encompass details about the form of identification used in connection with an individual to facilitate or receive a transaction (as required by law in certain instances), as well as information regarding a transaction involving an individual. This includes particulars of the amounts deposited into or withdrawn from an individual’s account, as well as delivery instructions.
We generally gather personal and/or sensitive information from individuals through the following methods:
1.1 directly from applications, questionnaires and/or forms completed by individuals (via our websites), which include surveys or special offers, when individuals wish to use our services, purchase our products or apply for a position in our organisation;
1.2 from information disclosed to us by an individual on the phone, or by sending us correspondence (by letter, fax or email) or contact us in person; and
1.3 from a variety of third party sources, including our business contacts credit reference and credit checking agencies, and financial institutions.
The above list is not exhaustive.
In some circumstances, we may be provided with personal information about an individual from somebody else, for example, a referral from another person. We will take reasonable steps to inform the individual that it holds the personal information and the purpose for which it holds the personal information.
The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) and Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Rules Instrument 2007 (No. 1) require us to collect certain identification information about you. We will collect personal information from third parties in respect of AML/CTF checks which are required to be carried out, under AML/CTF Legislation.
We must not collect sensitive information unless the individual has consented, or it is required by law, or in other special specified circumstances.
Having provided consent, you are able to withdraw it at any time. To withdraw consent, please contact our office. Please note that withdrawing your consent may lead to us no longer being able to provide you with the product or service you enjoy given that, as mentioned above, it is impracticable for us to treat some customers differently.
If the personal information we request is not provided, we may not be able to provide individuals with the benefit of our services, or meet an individual’s needs appropriately.

2. How we collect personal information

If these conditions are not met, we will destroy or de-identify the information.

7. How might we use and disclose personal information?

When we refer to the “use “of personal information, we mean to use it within our organization for the purposes outlined above. When we use the word “disclose” we mean providing the information to persons outside of our organization.
