In addition to PDPA, various subsidiary legislations have been issued. The PDPA applies to all organizations, regardless of location, that process the personal data of individuals residing in Singapore.

By adhering to the PDPA, we ensure the protection of personal data and comply with both legal and ethical standards, building trust with our stakeholders.
