Frequently asked questions

Is the Sept 30 2024 deadline a mandatory action?

The answer is yes.

This is the excerpt from The deadline to file your Data Protection Officer (DPO) information with the PDPC via ACRA BizFile+ (www.bizfile.gov.sg) is around the corner. If you have not done so, please act by 30 September 2024. Kindly note that it is mandatory for all organisations to appoint a DPO and make their business contact information public under the PDPA.

If I don't have operations in Singapore, do I still need to appoint a DPO?

As long as your company is active.

All organisations, including sole proprietorships, are required to designate at least one person, a DPO, to be responsible for ensuring that the organisation complies with the PDPA. 

What if I miss the deadline, is there a penalty?

While there is no penalty if you miss the deadline. Although, PDPC may take action against organisations that cannot demonstrate compliance with the PDPA to appoint a DPO, including making the DPO’s business contact information available to the public.

As the appointed DPO, there are responsibilities expected of the individual and failure to meet them won't be good for your organization.
