PDPA Compliance For MCSTs

A MCST is considered an organisation under the PDPA.

MCSTs need to comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), starting with the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO).

The responsibilities of a DPO include, but are not limited to:

Who Needs To Appoint A DPO?

A MCST comprises the subsidiary proprietors of all lots within the specific strata title plan (an “estate”), which could be residential buildings such as apartments and condominiums, or commercial buildings such as shopping malls, offices and medical centres.

The Management Council (MC) of each MCST needs to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO).

Condominiums

Shopping Malls

Commercial Buildings
