The privacy of your personal data is important to us and we are committed to accord the information the due level of care as presented in this Policy and consistent with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012.

This policy outlines our obligations and practices in the handling of the Personal Data we collect and hold about our clients, volunteers, partners and all others who come into contact with us across all touch points of our operations.


1. Collection, Use & Disclosure of Personal Data

We receive or collect personal data for the purpose of administering social services to our clients, engaging volunteers and donors, working with partners, reporting to proper Authorities and other relevant and reasonable work that are necessary to facilitate and enhance Fei Yue’s provision of social services.

We may for these purposes, contact you via mail, email, telephone, SMS or other communication means.

Family Central works with ministries that administer funds and support to our clients. We would like to inform you that the National Silver Academy (NSA) is an initiative under the Action Plan for Successful Ageing and is therefore a government initiative. C3A is “an organisation that is acting on behalf of a public agency” to administer the NSA subsidies. Hence, C3A as the administrator for NSA subsidies and acting on behalf of the Ministry of Health is authorized to continue collecting full NRIC numbers for the purpose of administering the NSA subsidies.

Trainees applying for SkillsFuture Credit are also to provide their physical NRICs for the purpose of verification and proper governance of training grant disbursement.

We request your kind cooperation to provide your NRIC where required so that we can verify your eligibility and administrate the relevant subsidies.

Withdrawal of consent should be made formally in writing with document proof. Whilst we respect your decision to withdraw your consent, this may restrict our ability to provide you with our continued service.
