The PDPA aims to safeguard individuals’ personal data against misuse by regulating the proper management of personal data. Generally, individuals have the right to be informed of the purposes for which organisations are collecting, using or disclosing their personal data, giving them more control over how their personal data is used.
The PDPA also aims to enhance Singapore’s competitive advantages as a location for data hosting and management activities by strengthening Singapore’s reputation as a secure location for data and giving assurance to businesses looking for safeguards to protect sensitive data sets.
