Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)
The Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) governs the collection, use and disclosure of personal data. The PDPA was passed by Parliament in October 2012 and came into force in 4 stages between January 2013 and July 2014.
The PDPA recognises both:
- – The right of individuals (natural persons, whether living or dead) to protect their personal data; and
- – The need of organisations (all corporate bodies – e.g. companies – and unincorporated bodies, including those formed or resident outside of Singapore) to collect, use or disclose personal data for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances (see below).
What is personal data?
Personal data means:
- – Data about an individual who can be identified from that data itself; or
- – Data about an individual who can be identified from that data and other information to which your business has or is likely to have access
Examples of personal data that can, on its own, identify an individual include:
- – Biometric identifiers (face geometry or fingerprints)
- – Name and NRIC number
- – Photograph or video image of an individual
- – Voice of an individual
- – DNA profile
Note that the PDPA also protects, to a limited extent, the personal data of individuals who have been dead for 10 years or fewer. For such personal data, only the provisions relating to the disclosure and protection of personal data will apply.
What are the types of personal data the that PDPA does not apply to?
The PDPA does not apply to the following categories of personal data:
- – Personal data that is contained in a record that has been in existence for at least 100 years; and
- – Personal data about a deceased individual who has been dead for more than 10 years
- – Business contact information, which is information not provided by an individual solely for personal purposes, and includes an individual’s:
-
- Name;
- Business title;
- Business telephone number; and
- Business address and email address
-
