Encouraging data-driven innovation while protecting personal data use
With more personal data* being exchanged between consumers and businesses, it is critical to ensure that such data is protected and used in a responsible manner.
The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) was set up in 2013 to administer and enforce the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which protects against the misuse of personal data by governing the collection, use, disclosure, and care of personal data in Singapore. The PDPA also contributes to strengthening Singapore’s position as a trusted hub for businesses and cross-border data flows.
As part of IMDA, the PDPC promotes and regulates data protection, as the use of data and data sharing become more pervasive. The PDPC also provides guidance to private sector organisations to address AI governance issues when using artificial intelligence solutions.
