The PDPA regulates the processing of personal data in the private sector.

[2] Major amendments to the PDPA were proposed and passed in 2020.

Generally, if a telephone number is listed on a Do Not Call Register (e.g. the No Text Message Register), then it is not permitted to send a marketing message of the relevant kind to that telephone number.

[6] The PDPA establishes the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) as the regulatory authority governing data protection in Singapore.

[7] To date, the PDPC has enforced the PDPA against a number of organisations.
