Privacy Policy
At Public Holidays, protecting your privacy is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights when using our website.
We do not sell personal information for money. However, analytics and advertising services may receive technical identifiers or usage information, as explained below.
By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Our Terms and Conditions also apply.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
The information collected depends on how you use the website.
Information You Send to Us
When you use our Contact Us page, we may receive:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The subject of your enquiry
- Any information included in your message
- Attachments or official sources sent with a correction
Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the website, our server and service providers may automatically process:
- Your IP address
- Browser and device type
- Operating system
- Approximate location
- Referring website
- Pages viewed
- Date and time of access
- Time spent on a page
- Errors, security events and general interactions
This information helps the website function, provides audience statistics and protects it from spam or misuse.
Why Do We Use This Information?
We use personal information only for relevant website purposes, including:
- Responding to enquiries and correction requests
- Maintaining and improving our holiday calendars
- Understanding which pages are useful to readers
- Detecting spam, fraud, attacks and technical problems
- Measuring website traffic and performance
- Displaying and measuring advertising
- Meeting legal or regulatory obligations
- Enforcing our website terms
We do not use contact-form details to send unsolicited marketing emails.
Do We Sell or Share Personal Information?
We do not sell or rent personal information for money.
We may share limited information with companies that help us operate the website, such as hosting, analytics, security, email and advertising providers. These providers may process information only for their services and according to their own legal obligations and privacy policies.
Advertising cookies may be treated as “sharing” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws. Where legally required, we request consent or provide an appropriate opt-out control.
How Do Cookies Work?
Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags and local storage.
We may use the following categories:
- Essential cookies: Required for security, basic functionality and cookie preferences.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand website traffic and page performance.
- Advertising cookies: Help deliver, limit and measure advertisements.
- Preference cookies: Remember choices such as language or country preferences.
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through our cookie-consent controls where available. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may not work correctly afterward.
Do We Use Google Analytics?
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our pages.
Google Analytics may process information such as page URLs, device details, browser information, general location and interaction data. Google explains this processing on its page about how Google uses information from partner websites.
You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to prevent your browser from sharing visit activity with Google Analytics.
Do We Display Advertising?
We may use Google AdSense or another advertising provider to fund the website.
Advertising providers may use cookies or similar identifiers to display, limit, personalize and measure advertisements. Depending on your location, personalized advertising should operate only after any consent required by law has been obtained.
Google provides additional information in its Privacy Policy and advertising controls through My Ad Center.
If we change advertising providers, this policy will be updated to identify any service that materially affects how visitor information is processed.
Who Else May Receive Information?
Information may be processed by:
- Website-hosting and content-delivery providers
- Contact-form and email services
- Analytics and performance tools
- Advertising networks
- Security, anti-spam and backup services
- Professional advisers
- Government or law-enforcement authorities where legally required
We do not authorize these parties to use contact-form information for their unrelated marketing.
Is Information Processed Outside Singapore?
Some service providers may store or process information outside Singapore.
Where Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act applies, we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas transfers receive a standard of protection comparable to the protection required in Singapore.
The Singapore Personal Data Protection Commission explains this requirement in its guidance on cross-border data transfers.
How Long Do We Keep Personal Information?
We keep personal information only for as long as it serves the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.
Contact messages may be retained while we respond, investigate a correction or maintain an appropriate business record. Analytics, advertising and security information is retained according to our settings and the relevant provider’s retention rules.
Information that is no longer required should be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of.
How Do We Protect Information?
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or loss.
These measures may include HTTPS encryption, restricted administrative access, software updates, security monitoring, spam protection and backups.
No internet service can guarantee complete security. Please avoid sending confidential information through an ordinary contact form.
What Privacy Rights Do You Have?
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may be entitled to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Request access to that information
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Withdraw consent for future processing
- Request deletion where legally applicable
- Object to certain advertising or analytics uses
- Ask questions about overseas data transfers
- Submit a privacy complaint
To make a request, contact us at mudasarnazar369@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before releasing or changing personal information.
Singapore residents can learn more from the Personal Data Protection Commission.
What About Children’s Information?
This website provides general calendar information and is not directed specifically at children under 13.
We do not knowingly request personal information from young children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information without appropriate permission, contact us so we can review and remove it where required.
What Happens When You Follow an External Link?
Our calendars and articles may link to government authorities, advertisers or other independent websites.
Once you leave Public Holiday Singapore, the external website’s privacy policy applies. We do not control how another website collects or uses information.
Our Disclaimer provides more information about external sources and website accuracy.
Can This Privacy Policy Change?
Yes. We may update this policy when our website, service providers or legal obligations change.
The revised version will be posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be changed. Material changes may also be highlighted through the website or cookie-consent interface where appropriate.
