The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) provides a framework for organizations to ensure the protection of the personal data of citizens of Singapore. The regulations require organizations to protect individuals’ personal data that they process and also prove legitimate and reasonable purpose for collecting and using the personal data. The regulation was established and enforced to ensure the safety of personal data and prevent any misuse of the data. The aim of establishing the PDPA law is to regulate the flow of personal data in the country and strengthen Singapore’s position as a trusted business hub globally. The law is designed to protect personal data stored in an electronic and non-electronic format.
The PDPA Compliance applies to any organization that processes and deals with any kind of Personal Data in Singapore. Employees of an organization processing Personal Data are expected to adhere to the organization’s policies and procedures in context to PDPA Rule. However, employees cannot be personally held responsible for the organization’s breach.
PDPA obligations do not apply to government agencies or public agencies. This would mean the exclusion of organizations acting on behalf of a public agency concerning processing Personal Data. Further, the law does not apply to even individuals acting in a personal or domestic capacity.
Singapore enacted the Personal Data Protection Act the PDPA in 2012, and thereafter it cameinto force in different phases andwas enforced on 2nd July 2014.
PDPA Compliance cost for an average-sized company starts at $8000. Pricing for PDPA Compliance usually depends on several factors, including the Scope of Audit, Business Applications, Technology Platforms, Number of Locations, and other additional services.
The PDPA Compliance report is only valid for a year from the date of issue. Further, an audit should be performed annually, or at least when significant changes are introduced that may impact systems and control in an environment.
The PDPA regulation covers the personal data of citizens of Singapore stored in electronic format and non-electronic format. But it generally does not apply to any personal data processed for domesticpurposes or any public agency collecting, using,and disclosing personal data.
