Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 15, 2025

At Planyourutility, we believe privacy shouldn't be complicated. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile app UX/UI design services. We've written this in plain English because your privacy matters, and you deserve to understand exactly what happens with your data.

We don't use your information for advertising to third parties or selling your data. Everything we collect serves our direct business relationship with you.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We keep your information private, but there are specific situations where we might need to share it:

  • Service Providers: We work with trusted tools for project management, file storage, and communication. These providers only access what's necessary to support your project.
  • Legal Requirements: If Singapore authorities require it for legal compliance, we'll share necessary information while protecting your privacy as much as possible.
  • Business Protection: To protect our business rights, prevent fraud, or address technical issues that could affect service quality.
  • With Your Permission: We'll always ask before sharing your information for any other purpose, like featuring your project in our portfolio.

We never sell your personal information to marketers, advertisers, or data brokers. Your project details and business information stay confidential unless you specifically agree otherwise.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. Here's what you can do:

Request a copy of all personal information we have about you and your projects.

Correct Information

Update or fix any incorrect information in our records at any time.

Data Portability

Withdraw Consent

Data Security Measures

We take data security seriously and use multiple layers of protection to keep your information safe:

Encryption

All data transfers use SSL encryption, and sensitive information is encrypted when stored on our servers.

Access Controls

Only authorized team members can access your project data, with different permission levels based on their role.

Regular Backups

Your project files are automatically backed up to secure, geographically separate locations.

Security Monitoring

We monitor our systems for unusual activity and respond quickly to any potential security issues.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary for business and legal purposes. Here's our retention schedule:

Active Projects

All project data and communications are retained during active collaboration and for 30 days after project completion.

Completed Projects

Project files and design deliverables are kept for 2 years after completion to support ongoing maintenance or updates.

Contact Information

Basic contact details are retained for 3 years after your last project to support potential future collaboration.

Financial Records

Invoice and payment information is kept for 5 years to comply with Singapore's accounting and tax requirements.

You can request earlier deletion of your information at any time, though we may need to keep some records for legal compliance or legitimate business purposes.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and help us understand how people use our services. Here's what we track:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality, like remembering your preferences and maintaining security.
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand which content is most useful and how we can improve our website.
  • Performance Cookies: Monitor website speed and performance to ensure a good user experience.

You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling essential cookies might affect website functionality. We don't use cookies for advertising or tracking you across other websites.

International Data Transfers

While we're based in Singapore, some of our service providers operate globally. When your information needs to be transferred outside Singapore, we ensure it receives equivalent protection through:

  • Contractual agreements requiring the same privacy standards we maintain
  • Working only with providers in countries with adequate data protection laws
  • Using additional security measures for transfers to countries with different privacy regulations
  • Limiting international transfers to what's absolutely necessary for service delivery

We regularly review our international partners to ensure they maintain appropriate data protection standards.

Changes to This Policy

We update this privacy policy when our practices change or when required by law. Here's how we handle updates:

  • We'll email you about significant changes that affect how we handle your information
  • The updated policy will be posted on our website with a new "last updated" date
  • For major changes, we'll ask for your renewed consent where required by law
  • You can always access the current version of this policy at planyourutility.com/privacy-policy

If you don't agree with policy changes, you can request data deletion or discuss alternative arrangements that work for both parties.
