- delivery of services;
- evaluating and assessing the suitability for job applicants;
- verification of identity;
- regulatory reporting;
- business and internal administrative purposes, such as internal records and references or to process any queries or feedbacks;
- to facilitate any business asset transactions (which may extend to any sale, transfers, assignments or novation of assets, rights or obligations); or
- for any other purposes for which we have obtained your consent, for which you may be deemed to have provided consent or are reasonably related to the foregoing.
O2C may also share or refer your personal data to relevant third parties, strictly on a need-to-know basis. Such third parties may include individual or corporate business partners, O2C’s service partners or vendors, government agencies, healthcare professionals or other healthcare institutions or facilities.
