Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Karzo Singapore Pte. Ltd. (a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Singapore), its subsidiaries, affiliates and associated companies (the “Company”, “we or “us”) collect, use, share and protect personal information about you when you use our Karzo Singapore Pte. Ltd. mobile application, website or other platform (“Karzo”). This privacy policy covers both the “online” (e.g., web and mobile services) and “offline” (e.g., collection of data through telephone or in person) activities owned, operated, provided or made available by us. This privacy policy specifically addresses our obligations in respect of personal data privacy under the Personal Data Protection Act of Singapore.

Where practicable, we undertake to also apply the principles and the processes set out in the Ordinance to our operations globally. If our operations are subject to privacy legislation other than that of Personal Data Protection Act of Singapore (for example, the Hong Kong SAR), then this privacy policy will apply so far as practicable and consistent with such legislation.

Please review this privacy policy carefully so that you understand our privacy policies and practices.

BY USING KARZO OR BY OTHERWISE GIVING US YOUR INFORMATION, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. Do not use Karzo or give us any of your information if you do not agree to the terms of this privacy policy. However, we will not be able to render certain services to you if you do not provide such information about you to us.

We may update or change this privacy policy from time to time to reflect our information practices. Any changes will be effectively immediately upon posting of the revised privacy policy. If we make material changes, we will notify you by means of a notice on Karzo. We recommend that you review our privacy policy regularly for information about our latest privacy policies and practices.

Since we use the Google Maps Application Program Interface (API), Google's privacy policy, as may be amended by Google from time to time, is incorporated by reference: https://www.google.com/privacy.html.
