In-Company Training
Personal data in Singapore is protected under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), the main data protection regulation came into force in 2014. The PDPA governs the collection, use, disclosure and care of personal data. With digitalisation and more cross-border transactions, Singapore companies should leverage the PDPA so that they can gain the confidence of their various stakeholders.
Singapore companies are encouraged to demonstrate accountability to data protection and this aspect is an important consideration when it comes to the Personal Data Protection Commission’s enforcement cases. The process to demonstrate accountability also enable organisations to be clear on their responsibilities, as well as be mindful of their capabilities to handle data protection and potential lapses arising from their oversight or gaps.
