The Walk Of A Lifetime team (‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’, etc.) respects the right of individuals to protect their personal data. This privacy policy gives you information about how we collect, use, and disclose personal data about you while recognising both your right to protect personal data about you and our need to collect, use or disclose it for purposes that we believe are reasonable and appropriate.
It applies to the personal data of all individuals (‘you’, ‘your’, etc.) who are our participants of Walk Of A Lifetime 2025, our employees, and online users of our website.
If you are not in any of these categories but we collect, use or disclose personal data about you in the course of our work, this privacy policy will apply to that personal data consistently with the way in which it applies to the above individuals.
1. Purpose of collecting, using, or disclosing personal data
We collect personal data from or about our participants, employees, and other individuals. We use and/or disclose that personal data so that we can provide our services (which are described on our websites) efficiently and effectively.
2. Collection, use, and disclosure of personal data
We collect personal data directly from you in various ways. If at any time you would prefer not to provide some personal data that we request, please let us know. We will then explain our purpose for collecting that personal data. If you still do not wish to provide it, we will discuss with you whether we can proceed without it, which we may not be able to do.
We collect, use, or disclose personal data about you only if:
- you give, or are deemed to have given, your consent under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA); or
- collection, use, or disclosure is required or authorized under the PDPA or other written law.
In some cases, you are deemed to have consented, e.g. by posing for event photographs or submitting a job application. The PDPA also allows us to collect, use, or disclose data without consent in situations such as emergencies, evaluative purposes, or legal requirements.
Contact our Data Protection Officer for more information on these cases. Note that browsing our website does not capture identifiable personal data.
3. Withdrawing your consent
You may withdraw consent at any time by providing reasonable written notice (including via email) to our Data Protection Officer. We may require proof of identity and will inform you of the consequences of withdrawal. If you proceed, we will cease all processing of your data unless required by law, and delete or anonymise your data when retention is no longer necessary.
4. Access to personal data and information about use
Upon request, we will provide you with:
- Personal data in our possession or control; and
- How we’ve used or disclosed it in the past year.
Requests must be submitted in writing. We may require proof of identity and will clarify if legal exceptions apply.
5. Correction of errors or omissions
You may request corrections to your personal data. Proof of identity and supporting documents may be required. We will make corrections unless we have reasonable grounds not to. Corrected data will be shared with all relevant organisations unless agreed otherwise.
6. Accuracy of personal data
We strive to ensure the accuracy and completeness of personal data when used to make decisions affecting you or when disclosing it to others.
7. Protection of personal data
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. Access is restricted to authorized personnel only.
8. Retention of personal data
We retain personal data only for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law or business needs.
9. Feedback procedure
We welcome feedback on our handling of personal data. Anonymous feedback will be noted but cannot be investigated. Please include details such as:
- The specific concern;
- Whether it’s isolated or ongoing;
- Any related correspondence; and
- What you believe should have occurred.
We will investigate within five business days and provide an outcome or update, unless already resolved to your satisfaction.
