Introduction

The PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act) is a data protection law comprises of various rules governing the collection, usage, disclosure, and protection of personal data. It recognises the rights of an individual to protect their personal data from misuse, including rights to access and correction of personal data.

It is mandatory for all organisations to appoint a Data Protection Officer and have in place data protection policies and procedures to handle feedbacks and requests.

As most business processes are conducted by employees and or data intermediaries (service providers), data protection policies serve as a guide for all relevant stakeholders including customers or individual. Thus, it is important to review and re-evaluate existing policies and processes to align with the Act.

Staying in compliance with PDPA gives the organisation a competitive advantage and gain customers’ confidence.

Any breach of the PDPA provision will attract both criminal and or civil action taken against the organisation and or individual.

Participants attending this workshop need to have prior knowledge in PDPA or have attended PDPA training.
