Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: April 4, 2026 · mysingaporediary.com

01 — Let’s Start With a Warm Welcome

Welcome to My Singapore Diary Terms and Condition — a personal travel blog dedicated to helping you discover, explore, and fall in love with Singapore, one story at a time. Whether you’ve stumbled upon us while planning your first trip, looking for a hidden gem in Little India, or just scrolling through food photos at midnight, we’re genuinely glad you’re here.

By visiting, browsing, or using any part of this website at mysingaporediary.com, you’re agreeing to the terms laid out on this page. We know legal documents can feel dry and heavy, so we’ve written this one in plain, honest language — because we’d rather you actually read and understand it than click past it.

These General Conditions govern the relationship between you and My Singapore Diary. They’re not here to intimidate anyone — they exist to keep things fair, transparent, and respectful for everyone involved.

If anything here doesn’t feel right to you, or you have questions before proceeding, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We’re real people behind this blog, and we’re always happy to talk.

02 — Everything You See Here Belongs to Us

Every blog post, photograph, travel guide, itinerary, caption, video, illustration, map, and piece of written content published on My Singapore Diary Terms and Condition is original work created by us — and it’s protected under copyright law. That includes the casual first-person stories, the carefully curated photo essays, the honest restaurant reviews, and the travel tips built from real personal experience exploring Singapore’s streets, hawker centres, and neighbourhoods.

You are welcome to share our content in the following ways:

Sharing a direct link to any of our articles on social media, messaging apps, or your own website.
Quoting a short excerpt (no more than two to three sentences) with clear attribution and a link back to the original post.
Using our content for personal, non-commercial reference purposes.

What you may not do is reproduce, republish, copy-paste, scrape, translate, or repurpose our full articles — or any significant portion of them — on another website, blog, social media account, newsletter, or any other platform without our written permission. This applies to photos and visual content as well. If you’d like to collaborate or re-use something specific, just ask us first. We’re generally friendly about it.

03 — How You’re Welcome to Use This Site

My Singapore Diary is a free, openly accessible travel resource, and we want as many people as possible to benefit from it. In return, we ask that you use it responsibly and in good faith.

When you access this website, you agree that you will not:

Use any automated tools, bots, or scrapers to bulk-download or harvest content from this site.
Attempt to interfere with, damage, or disrupt the website’s functionality or its hosting infrastructure.
Use any content from this site for misleading, defamatory, or unlawful purposes.
Misrepresent our content as your own or pass it off as original work.
Engage in any behaviour that could harm this site’s reputation or the community around it.

We reserve the right to restrict or block access to anyone who violates these terms, and to take further legal action where appropriate.

04 — We Try Our Best, But Things Change

Singapore is a city that moves fast. Opening hours shift, restaurants close, visa rules get updated, and hawker stalls relocate. We work hard to keep our content current and accurate, but we’re a personal blog — not a government directory or an official tourism board.

All information on My Singapore Diary is provided in good faith and for general informational purposes only. It reflects our personal experiences and research at the time of writing. Before making any major travel decision — booking flights, arranging visas, planning a tightly-scheduled itinerary — we strongly encourage you to verify important details directly with the relevant authorities, venues, or service providers.

Travel is beautifully unpredictable. We share what we know and love, but please do your own due diligence before making time-sensitive decisions.

We do our best to note when articles were last updated, and we revisit key posts regularly. If you spot something outdated, please let us know — we genuinely appreciate the help.

05 — Links to Other Websites

Throughout our articles and guides, we sometimes link to external websites — travel booking platforms, official Singapore government pages, restaurants, tour operators, maps, and other resources we find genuinely useful. These links are there to help you, not to endorse.

My Singapore Diary has no control over the content, privacy practices, or policies of third-party websites. Once you follow a link away from our site, you’re subject to that website’s own terms and conditions. We recommend reviewing the relevant policies before engaging with any external service.

The presence of a link does not imply that we have a business relationship with that website, nor does it mean we can vouch for the accuracy or quality of their content at all times.

06 — Comments, Messages & Your Conduct

We love hearing from fellow travellers, curious explorers, and Singapore enthusiasts. If you leave a comment on a post, send us a message, or interact with us through any contact form on this site, please keep things respectful and kind.

By submitting any comment or message, you confirm that:

Your content does not infringe on anyone’s intellectual property rights.
It does not contain anything defamatory, offensive, discriminatory, or illegal.
You are not impersonating another person or organisation.
You grant us the right to display, moderate, or remove your comment at our discretion.

We moderate comments and reserve the right to delete anything that violates these standards or that we deem inappropriate, without notice or explanation. This isn’t about censorship — it’s about keeping this a welcoming space for everyone.

07 — Your Privacy Matters to Us

This My Singapore Diary Terms and Condition page governs how you use our site. For full details on how we collect, store, and use your personal data — including cookies, analytics, and contact form information — please refer to our dedicated Terms and Condition at mysingaporediary.com/privacy-policy.

In short: we respect your privacy, we don’t sell your data, and we only collect what’s necessary to run this blog and improve your experience on it.

08 — Affiliate Links & Commercial Relationships

From time to time, some of the links on My Singapore Diary may be affiliate links. This means that if you click through and make a purchase or booking, we may receive a small commission — at absolutely no additional cost to you.

This helps support the running of the blog and allows us to continue creating free, high-quality content. We only recommend products, services, and experiences we genuinely believe in and that are relevant to your Singapore travel. Our editorial opinions are always our own and are never influenced by affiliate partnerships.

We believe in full transparency with our readers. Where affiliate links are present, we do our best to disclose this clearly within the article or post. If you ever have a question about a specific recommendation, feel free to ask.

09 — Limitation of Liability

My Singapore Diary is a personal travel blog run independently. While we invest real time, care, and effort into everything we publish, we cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, injury, inconvenience, or disappointment that arises from using the information on this website.

This includes — but is not limited to — travel disruptions, financial decisions made on the basis of our content, access issues to places we’ve featured, or any reliance on pricing, schedules, or operational details that may have changed since publication.

Travel always carries inherent risks. We encourage all visitors to exercise their own judgement, purchase appropriate travel insurance, and consult official sources for important safety and legal information before and during their trip to Singapore.

10 — We May Update These Terms

As our blog grows and evolves, these Terms & Conditions may be revised or updated from time to time. We’ll always update the effective date at the top of this page when changes are made, so you can check back here if you want to stay informed.

Continued use of the website after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with any changes, the right thing to do is to stop using the site and, if you’d like, reach out to us to share your concerns.

We don’t anticipate making dramatic changes — this blog is built on honesty and simplicity, and so are its policies.

11 — Jurisdiction

These My Singapore Diary Terms and Condition are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising out of or related to the use of this website will be handled in good faith in the first instance through direct communication.

My Singapore Diary is operated and maintained primarily in connection with Singapore and its travel community, and these terms reflect the values of transparency, respect, and good faith that we try to bring to everything we do.
