SG Handyman Engineering Pte Ltd Last Updated: April 2026


1. Introduction

SG Handyman Engineering Pte Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting the personal data of every individual who interacts with our business — whether you are a homeowner in Tampines requesting a power trip repair, a business owner in Jurong asking for a commercial electrical quote, or simply someone browsing our website for information.

It applies to all interactions with SG Handyman Engineering, including our website at sghandymanengineering.com, phone and WhatsApp enquiries, on-site service visits, and any follow-up communications.

This policy is written in compliance with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) and reflects the advisory guidelines issued by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC).

4. How We Collect Your Personal Data

We collect your personal data through the following channels:

Directly from you — when you call us, send a WhatsApp message, fill in our website enquiry form, or communicate with our team in person during a site visit.

From our technicians — when they record job notes, take photographs of the work area, or log service details during or after a visit.

Through our website — when you browse sghandymanengineering.com, our analytics tools collect technical data about your visit automatically. This does not identify you personally unless you also submit an enquiry.

Through referrals — if an existing client refers you to us and provides your contact number to facilitate an introduction. In this case, we will only use your number to contact you about the referred service.


5. Why We Collect Your Personal Data — Purposes of Use

We collect and use your personal data for the following purposes:

5.1 Service Delivery

To schedule, dispatch, and complete the service you have requested. This includes sharing your name, address, and job details with the technician assigned to your booking.

5.2 Quotes and Invoicing

To prepare accurate service quotes, issue invoices, and maintain financial records as required under Singapore law.

5.3 Permit Applications

For renovation and electrical projects that require HDB renovation permits, BCA submissions, or MCST notifications, we use your property address and contact details to prepare and submit the required applications on your behalf. Your consent to this is implied when you engage us to manage the permit process.

5.4 Follow-Up and Warranty Support

To contact you regarding warranty matters, follow-up visits, or service rectifications within the warranty period applicable to your job.

5.5 Customer Service and Dispute Resolution

To respond to enquiries, complaints, or feedback, and to resolve any disputes that may arise from a service engagement.

5.6 Safety and Legal Records

To maintain records of work completed at your property for safety accountability, insurance purposes, and compliance with EMA and PUB licensing requirements for licensed electrical and plumbing work.

5.7 Service Improvement

To review job records and customer feedback internally for the purpose of improving our processes, training our technicians, and maintaining service quality standards.

5.8 Marketing Communications (With Your Consent)

If you have expressly consented to receive marketing communications from us, we may contact you with service reminders, seasonal promotions, or information about new services we offer. This is optional. You can withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP to any message or calling us at +65 8013 5520.

We do not send unsolicited marketing messages. If you have engaged our services but have not opted in to marketing communications, we will only contact you for purposes directly related to your service.


6. Who We Share Your Personal Data With

We treat your personal data with care and do not sell it, rent it, or trade it with any third party.

We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

6.1 Our Technicians and Operations Team

Your name, address, contact number, and job details are shared with the technician assigned to your booking so they can reach you and perform the work. Our team members are bound by confidentiality obligations.

6.2 Regulatory Authorities

Where required by Singapore law or by a regulatory authority — including HDB, BCA, PUB, EMA, or law enforcement — we may be required to disclose certain records. We will only do so to the extent required by law.

6.3 Professional Advisers

Our accountants, lawyers, or insurers may have access to records that include customer data in the course of providing their professional services to us. They are bound by professional confidentiality obligations.

6.4 Technology Service Providers

We use third-party tools to manage our website, communications, and business operations. These may include web hosting providers, analytics platforms, and messaging tools. These providers are permitted to process your data only as necessary to provide their services to us and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

6.5 Permit and Application Submissions

For jobs requiring HDB, BCA, or MCST submissions, your property address and relevant job details may be included in those official applications as required.

We do not transfer your personal data outside of Singapore unless required by law or with your explicit consent.


7. How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

We retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and as required by Singapore law.

As a general guide:

  • Customer contact and job records are retained for up to 5 years from the date of the last service. This is to support warranty claims, insurance purposes, and any potential legal proceedings.
  • Renovation project records, including permit documentation and handover photographs, are retained for up to 7 years given the longer warranty periods and legal accountability involved.
  • Invoice and financial records are retained for 5 years in accordance with IRAS record-keeping requirements.
  • Marketing consent records are retained for as long as you remain opted in, and for 3 years after you withdraw consent, as evidence of your original opt-in.
  • Website analytics data is retained in anonymised or aggregated form and does not identify individual visitors.

When your data is no longer needed, it is deleted securely or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you.


8. How We Protect Your Personal Data

We take the security of your personal data seriously and have implemented reasonable and appropriate measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

These measures include:

  • Access to customer records is restricted to staff members who need it to perform their job functions
  • Physical documents containing personal data are stored securely and disposed of by shredding when no longer needed
  • Digital records are password-protected and stored on systems with access controls
  • Our team members are made aware of their data protection obligations and the importance of handling personal data responsibly

We acknowledge that no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to cause significant harm to affected individuals, we will notify the Personal Data Protection Commission and affected individuals as required under Singapore’s Mandatory Data Breach Notification obligation.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how we handle your personal data, please contact us:

SG Handyman Engineering Pte Ltd 1 North Bridge Road, #30-02, Singapore 179094 Phone: +65 8013 5520 Website: sghandymanengineering.com

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your personal data or responded to your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) of Singapore:

Personal Data Protection Commission Website: pdpc.gov.sg Helpline: 1800-PDPA-LAW (1800-7372-529)

We would however appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly before you approach the PDPC. Please contact us first and we will do our best to resolve the matter promptly.


A few notes on how this was written specifically for SG Handyman Engineering:

PDPA-specific throughout — every section references the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act 2012 by name, mentions the PDPC by name, and includes the mandatory data breach notification obligation introduced under the 2020 PDPA amendments. This is not a generic GDPR-style policy with Singapore swapped in.

Business-specific data types — the property type field, HDB block details, permit application data use, and technician job photography are all data points that are unique to a Singapore trades business and would not appear in a template policy.

Retention periods are justified — the 5-year customer record retention is tied to IRAS requirements and warranty support. The 7-year renovation retention reflects the longer accountability period for structural and M&E work. These are specific and defensible rather than arbitrary.

Marketing consent section — matches the service pages which never promised to contact clients without consent, and gives a clear opt-out mechanism.

Consistent with Terms and Conditions — the warranty, liability, and permit sections cross-reference cleanly with the T&C document written earlier in this conversation.
