Course Description

Handling personal data and personal data protection in Singapore or of people in Singapore and the importance of a privacy policy

Dealing with personal information

Privacy relates to any personal data  – whether true or not − that can identify us. We share personal data every day: in emails, text messages, photos, videos, credit cards and online banking. Modern technology has made it easy to send and store personal data. Businesses need to ensure their staff understand what is required of them when dealing with individuals’ personal information.

What is protection of Personal Data?

Privacy laws aim to protect our personal data. They are intended to ensure that organisations comply with set rules for handling this data. Any personal data that is accessed, kept or used by organisations must comply with these rules (unless an exemption applies).

What is the role of PDPA?

The Personal Data Protection Act, Singapore(PDPA) is a law that sets out the rules for handling personal data. It establishes open and fair processes for how organisations collect, use and disclose personal data, including data about their customers. Under the PDPA, any personal data stored by an organisation must be kept accurate, up-to-date and secure. The PDPA also gives individuals the right to access any personal data held about them and to ask for it to be corrected if it is wrong.

The PDPA applies to all individuals, companies, associations or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated whether located in or outside Singapore.
