The Singapore government is reminding its citizens about the public consultation on the proposed Real Estate Agency and Telecommunications Advisory Guidelines (PDPA).
It is still seeking views from the public on the issues and scenarios raised within the published advisory guidelines.
The 19-page document covering the property and real estate industry covers topics including how the PDPA should “ … govern the collection, use and disclosure of individuals’ personal data by organisations in a manner that recognises both the right of individuals to protect their personal data and the need of organisations to collect, use and disclose personal data for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances.”
Issues regarding the ‘Do Not Call’ Registry are also discussed, and clear examples of what is and what is not allowed are discussed. The full consultation document can be downloaded here.
Interested parties have until 5pm on February 13 to submit their comments.
