If there are any terms with which you do not agree, please discontinue use of our Services immediately. We may revise this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. You are advised to revisit this page periodically to ensure you still agree with any updates.
This Privacy Policy outlines how we may use your information when you:

What information do we collect?
We collect information you voluntarily provide when using our Services or when contacting us. The data we collect depends on the context of your activities and may include:
- Registration: Your name, school, email address, team name, and a unique password. Once you have registered, a common account will be generated for your team to access the competition interface. We do not have access to your password.
- During the competition: We record your actions on the Website (e.g., answers submitted) to evaluate your team’s performance and maintain the integrity of the competition.
- Cookies: We employ cookies (small data files stored in your web browser) to authenticate your account and remember your preferences. These cookies are used strictly for functionality and are not shared with third parties.
Who has access to my personal data?
Your personal data is accessible only to the SEL Organising Team. In certain circumstances, limited information (such as name and school) may be displayed on the competition leaderboard or on the Website archives. We may also share relevant details (e.g., names and results) with your school, but not personal information such as your email address.
How do we collect your data?
We collect your data when you complete our registration form and voluntarily provide information while using our Services. This includes your competition-related activities, such as question attempts and interface interactions. If you join the SEL Discord server, we can view only the username and information you make available through your personal Discord settings. Any chat logs or other server records are handled in accordance with this Policy and Discord’s own privacy policy.
Why do we collect your data?
We collect your personal information for reasons including, but not limited to:
- Verifying your eligibility as a participant.
- Disseminating competition details (e.g., dates, rules, login instructions) via the email address you provide.
- Distributing results and certificates to participants’ schools.
- Tracking performance and progress, as well as identifying any cheating or dishonest acts.
How do we protect your data?
We employ industry-standard safeguards, including encryption, to protect your data. Nonetheless, no method of data storage or Internet transmission is entirely secure. Please access our Services under secure conditions and keep your account credentials confidential. We will not disclose your personal information to third parties beyond what is necessary for competition operations or required by law. We may retain certain details (e.g., names, team names, schools) for Website archives to preserve competition records. Other records (e.g., answers and personalization settings) will be deleted after the competition period and resolution of any outstanding issues.
How can I access, amend, or withdraw my data?
You have the right to access or view the personal data you have provided. To do so, please email privacy@sgeconsleague.org and we will respond within ten business days. You may also request corrections or deletions of your personal data at any time. However, withdrawing your data may prevent us from reserving your place in the competition, and late requests close to the event date may not be accommodated.
Advisory clause on data collection relating to minors
In accordance with the guidelines from the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) in Singapore, the SEL Organising Team follows best-practice standards for collecting and handling data from minors.
