Overview
With the advent of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), organisations have become more vigilant about safeguarding personal data. That said, there are changes underway which will affect the ease with which organisations collect, use and disclose data. In this workshop, there will be discussions on some of the obligations under PDPA, and how the Personal Data Protection (Amendment) Bill may affect these obligations e.g. the maximum financial penalty that can be imposed on errant organisations has been proposed to increase from $1 million to 10% of their annual gross turnover or $1 million (whichever is higher).
