Frequently Asked Questions

Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) is the primary law regulating data protection. The PDPA creates a data protection legislation that regulates how organizations collect, process, and disclose personal data while honoring individual’s rights and organizations' requirements to utilize such data for lawful reasons.

The Cybersecurity Act provides a framework for ensuring Singapore's national cybersecurity remains intact. It also aims to regulate cybersecurity service providers, cybersecurity experts, and owners of critical information infrastructure (CII).

Singapore's primary authority on regulating personal data privacy is the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC). It administers and enforces the PDPC and encourages public and organizational awareness of data security while offering guidance to companies on how to comply with the PDPA.
