SYNOPSIS

This module will provide an overview of the Singapore Data Protection Act with the focus on the scope of the act, the data controller's obligations, the standards of compliance and accountability measures. Relevant PDPC decisions and guidelines will be referenced. The latest amendments to the PDPA and their significance to Singapore data protection regime, as well as the role of the reasonableness standard of compliance that is central to the Act, will also be examined. An overview will also be provided on other laws with implications for personal data and informational privacy interests.

This module is part of the Primer Series: Leading Issues in Law & Technology.

Developments in AI, blockchain, crypto-currencies, smart contracts and other emerging technologies have far-reaching implications for legal professionals in various areas of practice. As the Singapore Judiciary has emphasised, it is crucial for legal professionals to stay abreast of the latest developments in this regard.

This primer series provides legal professionals with a one-stop avenue to acquire updated knowhow about key legal and regulatory issues surrounding the use of AI, blockchain, smart contracts and other emerging technologies. Taught by leading experts in their respective fields, participants will be equipped with a nuanced appreciation of the practical legal and regulatory issues that have and are likely to arise. Instructors will peel away the jargon to demystify the underlying technology, so that participants can gain insights into the available strategies that they and their clients can embrace in response to, or anticipation of, technology adoption and innovation.

The primer series comprises the following 5 modules. Participants can pick and choose which module(s) to attend.
