Personal Data Protection Act

With effect from 2nd July 2014, the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) establishes a data protection law that comprises various rules governing the collection, use, disclosure and care of personal data. It recognises both the rights of individuals to protect their personal data, including rights of access and correction, and the needs of organisations to collect, use, or disclose personal data for legitimate and reasonable purposes.

The Act gives individuals certain rights, and also imposes obligations on those who records and use personal information to be open about how information is used and to follow data protection obligations.
