Overview
Increasingly, businesses are finding ways to seize new opportunities and embrace digitalisation. While digitalisation can help accelerate business renewal, there are also potential challenges faced by businesses in relation to safeguarding personal data and confidential information. Today's rapidly evolving technologies have made it easier than ever for companies to collect, use and transfer personal data in Singapore and throughout the world. It is therefore important for businesses to understand the regulation of personal data, their key obligations in relation to protecting that personal data and the potential negative impacts that failing to meet such obligations may have on their business.

2. New amendments to the PDPA and its impact on businesses :
- increased financial penalties
- mandatory data breach notification
- revised consent framework
- new data portability obligation
- enhanced rules : telemarketing and spam
3. PDPA vs General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- analyse the differences (and aimilarities) between the amended PDPA and the EU GDPR for businesses which is useful for any Singapore business that plans to sell goods or services to EU customers
4. Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
- when a DPIA is required
- how a DPIA should be run
- Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) Guidance on DPIAs
- how the Singapore approach compares to GDPR requirements
5. Use of New Consent Exceptions
