Data Protection Law in Singapore – Privacy and Sovereignty in an Interconnected World (2nd Edition) (Print + Digital)

The adoption of the Personal Data Protection Act transformed the legal regime for data protection in Singapore.

The second edition includes :

- New chapters examining how the legislation has kept pace with technological change

- How individual rights have been balanced against business interests in the course of enforcing the law.

- It also has specialist chapters on image rights and data protection, as well as new chapters on accountability and cross-border transfers and enforcement.

From the Foreword

“This book comes at a time when we are embarking on a review of the PDPA to keep abreast of technological advancements and global developments. Our data protection regime must evolve in tandem with emerging issues such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of things, and multilateral frameworks for cross-border data flows. … I congratulate the authors and publishers on their timely contribution to the national and global discourse on this important subject.”
