The Resilient and Inclusive Cities Lab (RICL) at NTU's Asian School of the Environment runs this portal to make research discoverable. We keep the data we collect to a minimum and explain it below.

Information we collect

The portal is primarily a read-only research resource. We may collect:

  • aggregate usage data — pages visited, approximate region, and device type — to understand how the portal is used;
  • any details you choose to send us directly, such as your name and email when you make an enquiry.

How we use information

We use this information to operate and improve the portal, to respond to enquiries, and to report on the reach of the lab's research. We do not sell personal data.

Aggregate figures may be shared with the lab's funders and collaborators to demonstrate impact, but these never identify individual visitors. We do not use the data for advertising or automated decision-making.

Cookies and analytics

We use a small number of cookies and privacy-respecting analytics to measure traffic. You can block cookies in your browser settings; the portal will continue to work without them.

Third-party services

Some content and infrastructure are provided by third parties, including services governed by NTU's institutional policies. Their own privacy practices apply to the data they process.

Data retention

We keep enquiry correspondence only for as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of the exchange, after which it is deleted.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you;
  • correct it if it is inaccurate, or ask us to delete it.

Contact

To exercise any of these rights, or for questions about this policy, contact us at ricl@ntu.edu.sg.
