1. About This Policy
Stewardship Consulting Pte. Ltd. ("Stewardship Consulting", "we", "us", "our") is a boutique advisory firm headquartered in Singapore with an office in Seattle, Washington, USA. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal data in connection with this website (www.stewardshipconsulting.com) and our advisory services.
We are committed to complying with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) and, where applicable, relevant US privacy laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). We do not sell personal data.
By using this website or contacting us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
2. What Personal Data We Collect
We collect personal data only when you voluntarily provide it to us. The categories of data we collect are limited to:
Contact enquiries
- First and last name
- Email address
- Company or family office name (optional)
- Your message or enquiry
Website usage
We may collect standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited through analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics). This data is aggregated and is not used to identify individual visitors.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (including financial account numbers, health information, or government identification numbers) through this website. Any sensitive information shared in the course of an advisory engagement is governed by a separate client engagement agreement.
3. How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data you provide for the following purposes:
- To respond to your enquiry or consultation request
- To schedule and conduct an initial consultation
- To assess whether an advisory engagement may be appropriate
- To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
- To maintain records of communications as required for professional services
We do not use your personal data for marketing without your explicit consent. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the PDPA, we process personal data on the basis of your consent (given when you submit our contact form) and our legitimate business interest in responding to professional enquiries. Under US law, we process data as a service provider in the context of potential professional engagement.
5. How We Share Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Google LLC (contact form infrastructure via Google Forms; analytics via Google Analytics). Google processes data in accordance with its own privacy policy and applicable data processing agreements.
- Within our firm: Personal data may be accessed by our advisors in Singapore and the USA solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose data where required by law, court order, or regulatory authority in Singapore or the United States.
Any third-party service providers we engage are required to handle personal data in a manner consistent with the PDPA and applicable law.
6. Cross-Border Data Transfers
Our firm operates from Singapore (headquarters) and Seattle, Washington (USA). Personal data submitted through this website may be accessed by advisors in both jurisdictions. Where data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure it receives a standard of protection consistent with the PDPA.
Our use of Google services may involve data being processed on servers outside Singapore. Google participates in standard contractual and data protection frameworks applicable to such transfers.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data submitted through enquiry forms for as long as is necessary to respond to your enquiry and, where an advisory engagement results, for the duration of that engagement and for seven (7) years thereafter, consistent with professional services recordkeeping obligations.
If no engagement results from an initial enquiry, we will retain your contact data for no longer than two (2) years, after which it will be deleted or anonymised.
8. Cookies and Tracking
This website may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics purposes (e.g. Google Analytics) to help us understand how visitors use the site. These cookies collect anonymised, aggregated information and do not identify you personally.
You may disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use this website or contact us.
