Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Maranth ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information provided by individuals who visit our website, submit enquiry forms, or participate in our educational programmes. We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) of Singapore.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when it is provided voluntarily or is necessary to deliver our educational programmes. This may include:

• Name and contact details (email address, telephone number) submitted via our enquiry form or by direct communication
• Programme participation records, including which cohort a participant joined and when
• Correspondence records where you have written to us by email or post
• Technical data collected automatically via website cookies, including browser type, approximate location, and pages viewed (subject to your cookie consent)

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial account numbers, identity card numbers, or health information.

2. How We Use Your Information

Personal information is used only for the following purposes:

• To respond to your programme enquiry and discuss enrolment
• To administer your participation in a programme, including sending pre-session reading materials
• To communicate programme logistics, cohort details, and scheduling information
• To maintain records of programme participation for quality review and programme development
• To comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not use your personal information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent, and we do not share it with third parties for commercial use.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to any third party. Personal information may be disclosed only in the following circumstances:

Access to personal data is restricted to Maranth staff who require it to perform their responsibilities. Physical materials containing participant information (such as attendance records or contact lists) are stored securely at our premises.

While we take appropriate precautions, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure. We encourage you to contact us by telephone if you have concerns about transmitting sensitive information by email.
