Location, cookies, and device data
You may browse by entering an area or postal code. If you choose "Use my current location", your browser will ask for permission before sharing location data. Hawker Online uses that location to sort nearby pickup options and does not require precise location for ordinary browsing.
We use essential cookies and local browser storage for functions such as authentication, basket contents, security, and service preferences. Optional personalisation and marketplace analytics can be managed from the privacy controls in your signed-in customer account.
Retention, security, and overseas processing
We retain personal data only while it is needed for the purpose collected, including order fulfilment, receipts, reconciliation, disputes, fraud prevention, account support, and legal or accounting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete it, anonymise it, or remove the means by which it can be associated with you.
We use administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards appropriate to the data and service. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so please use a unique password and never share passwords or one-time codes.
Some service providers may process data outside Singapore. Where this happens, we take steps intended to provide protection comparable to the requirements of Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012.
Your choices and rights
Subject to applicable exceptions, you may ask to access or correct personal data held by Hawker Online. You may also withdraw consent with reasonable notice, request deletion where appropriate, or ask how your data has been used or disclosed.
Withdrawing consent may prevent us from providing features that depend on that data. Order, payment, fraud-prevention, or accounting records may still be retained where needed for legal or legitimate operational purposes.
Contact and updates
For access, correction, withdrawal, deletion, or a question about this notice, contact the Hawker Online data protection representative. Include enough information for us to identify the relevant account or interaction, but never send passwords, banking PINs, or one-time codes.
