You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you provide is accurate and complete. If you provide us with personal data relating to another individual (for example, as a referee or emergency contact), you represent and warrant that you have obtained that individual’s consent in accordance with applicable data protection laws (including the PDPA) for us to collect, use, and disclose their personal data for the purposes described above.
