Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 July 2026
The short version
This is a small advisory practice, not a platform. The site sets no cookies and runs no advertising. The only personal data it asks for is what you type into the contact form, and it is used to answer you. Nothing here is sold, rented, or added to a mailing list.
Who we are
TeakCharge Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202500128N) is a Singapore-incorporated commercial strategy and implementation practice, operating as TeakCharge Commercial Strategy and Implementation. It is run personally by Alex Szabo. This policy covers teakcharge.com. It does not cover services that belong to other companies, even where this site links to them.
For anything about your data, use the contact form and mark your message "Data protection". It reaches Alex directly.
What this site collects
The contact form. When you submit it, we receive your name, your email address, and your message. We use it to answer you and for nothing else. The form is handled by Formspree, which passes the submission on to us.
Booking a call. Our booking page links out to Cal.com. If you book, Cal.com collects the details you give it under its own privacy terms, on its own systems, and passes us the booking: your name, your email address, the time you chose, and anything you write in the booking notes. We use that to hold the meeting and to follow up on it.
Subscribing to APAC Signal. The newsletter is published on Substack. If you subscribe, you do that on Substack, under Substack's terms, and your email address sits with them. We are not sent a copy of anything you type there.
Server logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard request information, including your IP address, in order to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. We do not use those logs to build any profile of you, and we do not combine them with anything else.
Analytics. This site currently runs no analytics of any kind. No measurement script is served on any page.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies. It does not use local storage, session storage, or device fingerprinting, and it loads no third-party tracking script. Its one web font is served from this site's own domain, so no font provider sees your visit. There is therefore nothing to consent to and no cookie banner, which is deliberate.
If you follow a link out to Cal.com, Substack, or LinkedIn, those services set their own cookies under their own policies once you are there.
Why we are allowed to hold it
Under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012, we rely on your consent: you give us your details when you choose to write or to book, for the obvious purpose of getting a reply. We use them for that purpose and for our own record of the conversation. You can withdraw consent at any time by asking us to delete your details, and we will, unless we are required to keep something by law.
If you are visiting from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, treat the same processing as resting on your consent and on our legitimate interest in answering a business enquiry. The practical position is identical, because the only data we hold is what you sent us.
Who else handles it
| Who | What they do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Hosting and content delivery for teakcharge.com | United States, with a global network |
| Formspree | Receives and forwards contact form submissions | United States |
| Cal.com | Runs the booking calendar, if you use it | United States |
| Substack | Runs the APAC Signal newsletter, if you subscribe | United States |
| Google (Gmail and Google Calendar) | The mailbox and calendar the conversation continues in | United States, with regional infrastructure |
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data, and we do not share it with anyone outside that list except where the law requires it.
Data leaving Singapore
The services above operate outside Singapore, so a message you send is processed overseas. Where the PDPA requires it, we rely on those providers' contractual commitments to a standard of protection comparable to the PDPA. In practice the volume is small: a handful of enquiries and booking records.
How long we keep it
Enquiries and booking records are kept for two years from the last time we were in contact, then deleted, unless the exchange turned into an engagement, in which case the client record is kept for as long as the law and the engagement require. Ask us to delete yours sooner and we will.
Analytics data, if analytics is ever switched on, is aggregated and not personal data, and is retained by Cloudflare on its own schedule.
Your rights
Under the PDPA you can ask us what personal data we hold about you and how it has been used, ask us to correct anything wrong, and withdraw your consent to us holding it. Use the contact form, marked "Data protection". We will respond within thirty days, and sooner in practice.
If you are in the EEA or the UK, you can also ask for a copy in portable form, ask us to restrict or stop the processing, and complain to your own supervisory authority.
Security
The site is served only over HTTPS and holds no database of its own: there is no login, no account, and nothing stored on this site to breach. Messages live in the providers listed above and in Alex's own email. We take reasonable steps to keep them safe, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Children
This site is aimed at business readers. It is not directed at anyone under sixteen, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has sent us something, tell us and we will delete it.
Other sites
Where we link out, we do not control what those sites do. A link is not an endorsement of their privacy practices.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes with it.
